Expected to be open in November, SSP’s Food Collective will be the first of its kind in an Australian airport and represents the centrepiece of the Stage Two redevelopment of Brisbane Airport’s Domestic Terminal.

 

SSP operates an extensive portfolio of more than 500 international, national, and local brands including Brioche Dorée in Paris, LEON in London, and Hung’s Delicacies in Hong Kong. The company operates at approximately 600 sites – mostly airports and railway stations – in 33 countries around the world.

 

The contract with Brisbane Airport represents its largest commercial contract to date in Australia.

Located on Level 2 Departures, SSP Group’s vision draws inspiration from local outdoor hawker street dining and farmers markets.

 

Technology is also being used to enhance the customer experience with on-site self-order kiosks allowing passengers to order food across all five restaurants: Ze Pickle, Upper West Side Deli, YO! Sushi, Nippon Ramen and Mi Casa Burritos.

 

Completing the line-up is Mi Casa Burritos, with a menu comprising classic Mexican dishes including burritos, tortillas and tacos while a newly refurbished Roll’d concept store will also return to the Domestic Terminal. 

 

As global culinary tastes and trends continually evolve, SSP will rotate in new food and beverage offers into the Food Collective precinct midway through the contract, ensuring the consumer offer continues to remain relevant. 

 

Mark Angela, CEO of SSP Asia Pacific, said the company was proud to be working with Brisbane Airport to develop the Food Collective.

 

“This is a style of concept that has never been seen before in Australian travel retail,” he said.

 

“With our strong range of local and international brands and cutting-edge design, our intention is to create a welcoming environment that captures the true spirit of Brisbane.

 

“This is SSP’s largest commercial win in Australia to date and will cement our reputation in this important market.”

 

Martin Ryan, Executive General Manager Consumers Brisbane Airport Corporation (BAC), said the upgraded Café Court in the Northern end of the terminal will form the centrepiece of Stage 2 of the Domestic Terminal redevelopment.

 

“SSP’s exciting hawker-style dining options will bring a unique point of difference to Brisbane Airport’s Domestic Terminal,” Ryan said.

 

“Food Collective will further complement the high-quality in-terminal offerings, while providing travellers with an exciting range of pre-flight dining options that draw inspiration from popular food styles around the world. 

 

“SSP’s concept also beautifully captures elements of the South East Queensland lifestyle and incorporates them into the terminal in ways that haven’t been seen before.”
