Moving a flagship location while at the same time introducing a bold new look isn’t without stress for the team involved or without risk for the concept. But when that flagship’s original trade area starts shifting, when its first-generation look begins to feel dated, and when a stellar piece of real estate beckons from across town, the case for making such a move can be compelling.

In 2012, we started restaurant development + design as a complement to our established magazine Foodservice Equipment & Supplies, now in its 70th year.

Air travel may be more cramped and less hospitable than ever, but what passengers have lost in terms of the on-board experience is being more than made up for on the ground. Modern airports are becoming oases where travelers with time to kill can relax and enjoy all manner of goods and services, from massages and manicures to high-tech workstations, wine bars, specialty coffee shops, play parks, art exhibits and even pet patios. And they can dine — oh, can they dine. Along with traditional concessions and familiar restaurant chains, airports are bringing finer dining, often developed by award-winning local and regional chefs, into the mix. Here’s a taste.

Either way, operators have a host of things to consider when making room for takeout operations.
