Houston, get ready for a culinary and retail revolution. The new Terminal D-West Pier at George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) is shaping up to be a destination in its own right, thanks to a carefully curated selection of dining and shopping options.

Paradies Lagardère, a renowned travel retailer, and SSP America, a food travel specialist, are bringing their expertise to the new terminal. These contracts are set to generate an impressive $116 million in revenue for Houston Airports over the next decade and create at least 390 jobs across 26 concession locations inside the expanded Terminal D and a new International Central Processor. The goal for the concessionaires is to create an airport experience as memorable as the city itself.

“Our goal is to provide an exceptional customer experience that showcases Houston as a premier, world-class destination,” said Libby Hurley, Assistant Director of Concessions for Houston Airports. “The new Terminal D-West Pier will feature a blend of local and national brands that cater to the tastes and needs of international travelers.”

A Taste of Houston

The new dining options at IAH Terminal D-West Pier will include iconic Houston eateries and beloved national chains. Passengers can savor the flavors of The Annie Café & Bar, known for its sophisticated Texas-influenced American cuisine. D-West will also feature The Kitchen, a Woodlands favorite for comfort food.

In addition to these highlights, national favorites like Urban Crave, Jamba Juice, Einstein Bagels and Popeyes will ensure that every palate is satisfied.

One of the most anticipated additions is Jetero Market, named to celebrate the rich history and culture of Houston and Bush Airport. This unique market will feature exclusive souvenirs and gifts crafted by Texas artisans, along with a storytelling element that honors the local pioneers who played a pivotal role in the airport’s history.
