Hudson and partners from the duo of brands celebrate the openings in time-honoured fashion at Oakland San Francisco Bay Airport<\/p>\nUSA. Avolta company Hudson has opened what it hailed as an \u2018industry-first\u2019 hybrid concept at Oakland San Francisco Bay Airport, combining well-known Oakland-founded hospitality brand Trader Vic\u2019s and high-end grocer Plum Market.<\/p>\n
Located post-security in Terminal 2, the 6,000sq ft, 136-seat Trader Vic\u2019s outpost offers a full-service restaurant and bar experience featuring signature cocktails and island-inspired cuisine.<\/p>\n
The menu includes both familiar items such as tuna poke and the Hawaiian ham and egg press, plus new additions like Crab Rangoon, Maui Waui Shrimp and an OAK-exclusive cocktail, The Rooted Road, inspired by another Oakland-born culinary creation, Rocky Road ice cream.<\/p>\n

Travellers can shop a selection of Trader Vic\u2019s mugs, merchandise, and retail items, including OAK-exclusive T-shirts, magnets, keychains, and other keepsakes, bringing together dining and retail in one location.<\/p>\n
Complementing the restaurant, the adjacent Plum Market offers fresh, natural, organic and locally-sourced foods through hot meals and grab & go, including made-from-scratch entr\u00e9es, fresh salads, artisan sandwiches and gourmet soups prepared fresh daily.<\/p>\n
A selection of regional specialities, local craft beverages and packaged artisan snacks showcasing Northern California producers bring a sense of place, while a collection of healthy trending snack and drink brands and travel-friendly over-the-counter essentials and personal care items are also available.<\/p>\n
Connected by a shared seating area, the hybrid concept allows travellers to combine a sit-down meal, grab & go purchases, local retail products and travel essentials in an integrated space, noted Avolta.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re proud to partner with Trader Vic\u2019s, Plum Market and OAK to bring a genuinely distinct dining option to Terminal 2 that also complements the airport\u2019s existing food & beverage programme,\u201d said Avolta President & CEO, North America Steve Johnson.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs we grow our portfolio of hybrid concepts, Plum Market and Trader Vic\u2019s at OAK prove that airport food & beverage can serve travellers in the moment \u2014 whether they have just a few minutes to spare and want a chef-crafted meal on the go or they have time to linger and take in the full experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThese new concepts showcase what makes Oakland and the Bay Area special,\u201d said Port of Oakland Director of Aviation Craig Simon. \u201cTrader Vic\u2019s is one of Oakland\u2019s most recognisable hospitality brands, while Plum Market brings an outstanding collection of fresh, locally sourced, and chef-crafted offerings. Together, they create an elevated dining experience that reflects our commitment to providing travellers with local flavour and exceptional customer experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOpening at OAK is incredibly meaningful for us,\u201d said Trader Vic\u2019s Hospitality Group CEO Rhett Rosen. \u201cTrader Vic\u2019s was born in the Bay Area, and this new location gives us the chance to welcome travellers with a taste of that original spirit before they take off. It brings together everything people love about Trader Vic\u2019s \u2014 great cocktails, flavourful food, warm hospitality and a little sense of escape \u2014 in a place that connects Oakland to the world.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are thrilled to bring Plum Market to Oakland San Francisco Bay Airport and serve the millions of travellers passing through the Bay Area,\u201d said Plum Market CEO and Co-Founder Matt Jonna. \u201cOur goal is to redefine airport dining by offering clean, wholesome, chef-driven choices that travellers can feel good about enjoying, whether they have a quick layover or time to relax before boarding.\u201d ![\"](\"https:\/\/moodiedavittreport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/1f9d1-200d-1f373.svg\")
