Paradies Lagardere, the travel retail and restaurateur leader in North America, opened three new concepts in Austin–Bergstrom International Airport (AUS). Barton Springs, located near Gate 5 in Barbara Jordan Terminal, will provide travelers with basics such as newspapers, magazines, snacks, and bottled beverages, along with delicious Ruta Maya coffee. Departure Lounge will offer travelers a relaxing space to have a drink and a bite to eat before catching a flight, including breakfast, lunch and dinner options. Berry Austin will offer fresh smoothies, shakes, and frozen yogurt that are delicious and “uniquely Austin.” Both are located near Gate 9 in Barbara Jordan Terminal.
These new concepts are among several new offerings Paradies Lagardere will open in AUS in 2018, including Hut’s Hamburgers and Salvation Pizza. Second Bar + Kitchen’s airport location opened in Fall 2017, and has been wildly popular with travelers.
