SEATTLE – Traveling through A Concourse at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) is now even sweeter with the arrival of Lowrider Cookie Company and The Confectionery , two local, women-owned businesses, open near Gate A1. They are the latest businesses to join the SEA kiosk program, which opens opportunities for small businesses to take short-term leases at small kiosk locations across the airport. Their arrival makes A Concourse a dessert lover’s dream destination, as both are located next to another local, women-owned partner, Lady Yum. “In our conversations with both Lowrider Cookie Company and The Confectionery they mentioned they’ve always wanted to open at SEA, and we’re overjoyed to make that dream come true,” said Khalia Moore, senior manager of SEA’s airport dining and retail program. “The SEA kiosk program is our tool to open the doors for small local businesses to operate in an airport environment. That includes building more partnerships with ACDBE and WMBE businesses. Both Lowrider and The Confectionery already have their fans around the Pacific Northwest, so I have no doubt that guests are going to love the opportunity to pick up some delicious cookies or candies before their flight, or to bring to family and friends around the world.” |
2022 Charlotte Douglas International Airport Report of Achievement
Giving back to the community is central to what Charlotte Douglas International Airport and its operator, the City of Charlotte Aviation Department, is about, and last year was no different.
Throughout 2022, while recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic, we continued our efforts to have a positive impact on the Charlotte community. Of particular note, we spent the year sharing stories of how Connections Don't Just Happen at the Terminal - from creating homeownership and employment opportunities to supporting economic growth through small-business development and offering outreach programs to help residents understand the Airport better.
This whitepaper highlights the construction projects, initiatives, programs and events that validate Charlotte Douglas as a premier airport.
