A major overhaul to the Nashville International Airport’s concessions program will bring dozens of new tenants in 2020, including a local taco shop and a Southern food staple.

Fraport USA and airport officials on Friday unveiled the first retailers and restaurateurs set to open this spring as part of a high-profile makeover of the concessions program that will include more than 90 new tenants by 2023.

Among the first new restaurants planned to open at BNA are local taco shop Bajo Sexto, Mediterranean eatery Pyramids Café, Southern staple Swett’s Restaurant and health food shop The Urban Juicer. In addition, roughly 50 stores will open next year, including NaSah’s Nail Salon, The Arts District Market, Greetings from Nashville and Tennessee Brew Works.

Other confirmed future tenants include Shake Shack, the Country Music Hall of Fame Museum store, Kijiji Coffee House, Peg Leg Porker, Prince’s Hot Chicken, the Tennessee Whiskey Trail, MAC Cosmetics and Starbucks Reserve.

Friday’s announcement comes eight months after Fraport USA took over management of the airport’s retail concessions program. The company was awarded a contract from the airport in 2018 to change the concessions program from a concessionaire model to a so-called developer model, in which Fraport acts as a landlord and leases space for businesses to run their own operations.

Under the old concessions model, restaurants signed licensing deals for concessions corporations to use their logos and copy their menus, but they didn’t hire employees, cook the food or run the day-to-day operations.

“Our goal is to bring a big, bold taste of Nashville directly to the airport and its millions of visitors,” Fraport USA CEO Ben Zandi said in a statement. “We are thrilled to deliver this iconic program featuring diverse local operators and showcasing the best of Nashville and its region – alongside popular national brands.”

In February, Zandi said there were more than 430 applications for the roughly 90 retail/restaurant spots. As of Friday, Fraport had signed leases for more than 60 restaurants and stores, representing about two-thirds of future concessions space, according to a media release.

As part of the deal with the airport, Fraport's tenants are limited to charging street pricing, meaning prices are comparable to their locations outside the airport. In addition, Fraport must contract with at least 40 percent minority- or women-owned businesses and 40 percent local businesses.

The concessions changes are part of a broader $1.2 billion expansion and renovation of the fast-growing airport — called BNA Vision — that includes additional parking garages, a new Concourse D, expanded central terminal, expanded security checkpoint, an International Arrivals Facility, an airport administration building and a hotel.

More than 133,000 square feet of concession space will be created for shops, restaurants, service outlets and common-use areas.

“As passenger traffic continues to increase dramatically at BNA, we have sought to improve the overall airport experience with a new and improved concessions program,” BNA CEO Doug Kreulen said in a statement. “In particular, we welcome Fraport’s commitment to a concessions environment that embraces the authentic Nashville culinary scene and draws upon local ownership and participation. We look forward to the full implementation of the new program as we move forward with our expansion plan at BNA.”
