By
July 28, 2011

Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport's effort to revamp its concessions has attracted dozens of proposals for several small groups of restaurants.

The airport was seeking proposals for four small packages of food and beverage outlets, which attract businesses that can partner with different restaurant operators to seek a contract with multiple locations.

One package attracted 13 proposals, another attracted 15, a third drew 19 proposals and the last one had 11.

The solicitation was part of a broader revamp of restaurants at the airport, along with preparations for the new international terminal to open next spring.
