New Smashburger flagship to offer full bar, table service

DENVER – Nov. 14, 2017 – Passengers at Denver International Airport (DEN) can now enjoy the first fullservice Smashburger® in what is now the Denver-based company’s flagship location.

The new 2,327 square-foot Smashburger® restaurant is located on the C Concourse and is open from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily, with breakfast available until 10:30 a.m. The all-new breakfast Smashburger® will make its debut on the breakfast menu, along with a variety of signature sandwiches. And, coming soon, the restaurant will feature a full bar with 10 craft beers on tap from top Colorado breweries, including Tivoli, Dry Dock, Great Divide, Left Hand, Oskar Blues, and Upslope.

“Denver International Airport is excited to welcome Smashburger, a Colorado-based company with growing international recognition, to our expanding lineup of great dining options,” said Patrick Heck, DEN’s chief commercial officer. “Not only will the restaurant bring its lauded line of burgers to passengers on the go, but it will also offer full dining service and a full bar in a first-of-its-kind concept for the company. We think passengers will love this combination of service and quality food while waiting for a flight.”

The second Smashburger is set to open in B Concourse in spring 2018. That restaurant will boast a fun, twolevel layout featuring more than 3,573 square feet. Both restaurants will be operated by Midfield Concession Enterprises.

“People traveling through DEN have been looking for a better burger experience,” said Tom Ryan, founder and CEO of Smashburger®. “We are honored to bring our hometowns first full service Smashburger® into DEN and excited to be part of this dynamic airport community. Our partnership with Midfield Concession Enterprises promises to be both exciting and added-value to the Smashburger® brand.”
