“With a record 58.3 million passengers last year, Denver International Airport continues to see substantial growth that is driving an increased demand for exceptional shopping and dining options,” said Patrick Heck, DEN’s chief commercial officer. “The addition of these concessions won’t just add much needed capacity to serve passengers, but they will thoughtfully add a variety of local Colorado flavors and national brands to our growing lineup.”

Brothers BBQ, Snarf’s, CNBC and Breckenridge Brewery are all part of a package of concessions to be operated by Paradies Lagardère as part of an upcoming expansion of the A Concourse. The airport is currently constructing six new temporary gates on the east end of the concourse to accommodate airline growth. These four concessions will primarily serve that new holding area, which is expected to open by the end of this year.

DEN currently operates a total of 77 restaurants, 43 shops and 45 cart and kiosk locations. In 2016, restaurants, stores and other services generated $370,458,290 worth of sales.
