DENVER – Nov. 3, 2026 – Denver International Airport (DEN) is proud to welcome Denver-founded Olive & Finch and Bar Finch to Concourse C. The new location includes the brand’s first full-service restaurant at DEN, which also offers quick-service and grab-and-go options.
“Olive & Finch gives travelers a distinctive dining experience rooted in our community,” said DEN Interim CEO Dave LaPorte. “Its expansion at DEN also supports small-business growth and contributes to the regional economy.”
Olive & Finch and Bar Finch offer globally influenced dishes designed to accommodate a range of dietary needs, complemented by a convenient 24-hour self-service kiosk. Founded in 2013, the Olive & Finch Collective is a Denver-based hospitality company that has grown from its original Uptown restaurant into a family of restaurants, cafés, food production and food service concepts.
“Opening Olive & Finch and Bar Finch at Denver International Airport is a full-circle moment for us,” said Founder and President of Olive & Finch Collective Mary Nguyen. “For the past 13 years, we’ve been serving Denver with the belief that great food and warm hospitality should be approachable and accessible to everyone. We are committed to scratch-made, chef-driven food, and we’re excited to continue bringing that to travelers at DEN.”
Nguyen graduated from DEN’s Business Development Training Academy (BDTA), a free, application-based educational program that prepares certified small businesses to compete for airport opportunities. In addition to Olive & Finch and Bar Finch, the Olive & Finch Collective operates a Little Finch café on Concourse C and self-service kiosks in the Jeppesen Terminal and on Concourse A. The company also supplies grab-and-go products to several concessions throughout DEN. At the 2026 Moodie Davitt Airport FAB + Hospitality Conference & Awards in Bengaluru, India, Olive & Finch was named the North America regional winner for Airport “Food to Go” Offer of the Year for its Finch on the Fly concourse concept. Nguyen was also named Airport Chef of the Year for North America for Finch on the Fly at DEN.
Olive & Finch and Bar Finch are brought to DEN by Concession Partners, LLC, a joint venture between Olive & Finch, LLC, and Doc1 Solutions, LLC, a certified Airport Concession Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (ACDBE). Founded by Keith Montoya in 2002, Doc1 Solutions is a Denver-based company that joined Denver International Airport’s kiosk program in 2013 and has since expanded across all three concourses, operating a mix of local and national food and beverage brands.
Olive & Finch and Bar Finch are located on Concourse C, near Gate C38.
