(Los Angeles, CA) Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA), in partnership with Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield (URW) Airports, is excited to announce an elevated guest experience at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) with the opening of brand-new retail and restaurants inside the West Gates at Tom Bradley International Terminal.
The new dining options offer a mix of American classic and international cuisine including the first airport restaurant from celebrity chef Guy Fieri’s brand Chicken Guy!. There is also famed hamburger chain BURGER KING®️, Japanese noodle eatery Santouka, and opening soon is Spanish-style tapas restaurant Navarre. These restaurants will provide guests with more choices for dine-in options and faster service using the latest technology for mobile pickup and delivery via LAXOrderNow.com. Guests can shop the latest in LEGO® sets, travel essentials, iconic candies and chocolates, and top-rated luggage with brands including LEGO®, TMZ, InMotion, and opening soon is See’s Candies.
“The West Gates is one of the most modern and innovative airport concourses in the world and these new concessions are a wonderful complement to the exceptional experience our guests can expect when flying with LAX,” said Justin Erbacci, Chief Executive Officer, LAWA. “In partnership with URW, we have assembled a diverse lineup of brands and created opportunity for small-and-minority-owned businesses to participate in our airport concession’s program.”
As part of LAWA's commitment to diversifying the airport concessions environment, each concession opening in the West Gates includes at least one Airport Concession Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (ACDBE) partner. Certified ACDBE firms must meet eligibility standards established by the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT), including ownership of at least 51% by a socially or economically disadvantaged individual and management, and daily business operations controlled by at least one of the socially and economically disadvantaged owners. LAWA is thrilled to announce that Navarre proudly exemplifies the commitment to diversity and inclusivity by being 100% ACDBE-owned, showcasing the rich tapestry of talent and entrepreneurship within our airport community.
“We are excited to deliver new retail and dining options that continue to elevate the guest experience at LAX,” said Maral Matossian, URW General Manager, LAX. “Our team, in partnership with LAWA, is dedicated to bringing experiential stores such as LEGO®, brand favorites including InMotion and See’s Candies, and airport firsts like TMZ to the airport. A mix of dining options cater to all guests and our newest restaurant, Navarre, will bring flavors we have not seen before.”
