The new contract wins build on Avolta’s existing F&B presence at Palm Beach International Airport.

Avolta has been awarded two 10-year contracts at Florida’s Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) for a total of 1,281 sqm of concessions space combining retail and dining.

Under the new agreements, Avolta’s Hudson will develop four speciality retail and travel convenience stores throughout the airport, as part of the hub’s major expansion and modernisation project.

Beginning in 2026, the new retail offerings will bring a ‘hyper-local, curated shopping experience’ to the airport, promises Avolta, showcasing a blend of the ‘luxury, leisure and local flavour’ that Palm Beach is known for.

Building on the company’s F&B presence in the airport, Avolta’s HMSHost will open multiple dining venues in Concourse B and the Main Terminal.

From Summer 2026, HMSHost will introduce a lineup of full-service, fast casual, and quick-serve concepts introducing travellers to South Florida’s food scene.

“We are very happy to have been selected as the travel retail and F&B partner for Palm Beach International Airport, allowing us the opportunity to transform the travel experience,” said Steve Johnson, President and CEO, North America, Avolta.

“We have tailored and selected these new concepts to highlight the local culture and uniqueness of Palm Beach County while also offering locally sourced products and brands that make Palm Beach County and the surrounding region a sought-after destination year-round.”

Digital engagement is said to be a key of the new shopping experience, with the stores incorporating in-store technology such as self-checkout, QR code order and pay, self-order kiosks, digital menu boards and virtual waiting lists.

Travellers will also be able to reap the benefits of the Club Avolta loyalty programme, gaining access to exclusive offers, rewards and cross-promotions.

“We’re proud to introduce new concessions that highlight the flavours and spirit of Palm Beach County,” said Director of Airports Laura Beebe.

“We’re creating an experience that feels authentic to our community. These new options not only support local businesses, but also give our passengers more choice, more comfort, and a true sense of Palm Beach County from the moment they arrive.”
