Have you heard the news?  In early March, Phoenix City Council approved the recommended proposals for new restaurants, shops, and a common use lounge in Terminal 4’s new concourse. As a result, travelers will have even more local dining options to enjoy while visiting the airport as well as new local shops to peruse.

The Grove, Inc., was awarded the Food and Beverage Concessions Phase 1 Package. Concepts that will be included as part of the Grove’s operations are local concepts Pedal Haus Brewery and Berry Divine – Acai Bowls; regional concepts Bobby’s Burgers and Eegee’s; and national concept Chick-Fil-A.

Emerging Domestic Market Ventures, LLC was awarded the Food and Beverage Concessions Phase 1 Package 2. Their outlet Sip Coffee & Beer will feature menu concepts from local Arizona companies such as CULT Artisan Beverage Company, Native Ground Coffee, Mother Road Brewing Company, Tres Leches Café, Wild Tonic Kombucha, Half Moon Empanadas, San Tan Brewery, Real American Hero Coffee Company, Cactus Licker Coffee, Wild Tonic, and Salud Eats.

Marshall Retail Group, LLC and CASA Unlimited are also teaming up to bring local concepts into their convenience store and high-tech store. These include products from local favorites Changing Hands Bookstore and Melrose Pharmacy.

And, for those travelers looking for a lounge, the new concourse will feature a common use lounge. AD Partnership LLC dba Sapphire Lounge by the Club will open a 3,500-square-feet of space and provide travelers with access to a destination to relax or work.
