During its May 29 meeting, the San Antonio City Council voted to approve a contract with Host True Flavors for a series of new concessions in Terminal B of the San Antonio International Airport.

The overview

According to city documents, the agreement brings four concepts and a food court in 5,276-square-feet of Terminal B. The lease will begin on Oct. 1, 2026 and end Sept. 30, 2036.

Four restaurant concepts:

• 2M BBQ is a local restaurant which will be a quick serve version of their restaurant, serving foods such as brisket, sausage and barbacoa
• The Tasting Room will highlight wines from Becker Vineyards as well as other Hill Country wines
• Bakery Lorraine is a local bakery that serves baked goods and foods, such as frittatas, croissants, salads and sandwiches
• Popeye’s is a chain with over 3,700 locations across 30 countries and will serve foods such as fried chicken, chicken sandwiches, fried seafood, fries and biscuits

The contract has a minimum annual guarantee of $1.083 million and is projected to generate over $12 million in revenue over a 10 year term. Generated revenues will be deposited into the Airport Operating and Maintenance Fund.

The backstory

Host True Flavors was originally awarded the contract during the Nov. 21 City Council meeting. According to city documents, Host True Flavors will implement nine restaurant concepts in 11,836 square feet in Terminals A and B.

Originally, the concession contract was required to be broken into two contracts and be awarded to two separate companies. However, on Nov. 21, City Council voted to amend the requirements and award the Terminal A and B contracts to Host True Flavors.
