Avolta strengthens North American footprint with dual concession win at Palm Beach International Airport

Avolta has strengthened its presence in North America after winning two 10-year contracts at Palm Beach International Airport (PBI), covering 1,281 square meters of combined retail and F&B space as part of the airport’s expansion and modernization program.

Avolta’s Hudson will open four specialty retail and travel convenience stores from 2026, delivering a curated, hyper-local offer inspired by Palm Beach’s luxury and lifestyle identity. HMSHost will expand its F&B footprint with new full-service, fast-casual and quick-serve dining concepts in the Main Terminal and Concourse B from Summer 2026, showcasing South Florida’s culinary 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.”

“We’re proud to introduce new concessions that highlight the flavors 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.”

Digital engagement will be integral to the upgraded concessions, supported by self-checkout, mobile ordering, kiosks and virtual waitlists, alongside access to benefits via the Club Avolta loyalty program.
