Concessions 101 2025 4
Tampa International Airport officials on Thursday shared information with about 125 concessionaires, business owners and representatives so they could learn about new opportunities coming to TPA and its Concessions program at the future Airside D and beyond.
The public information session in the Main Terminal, called Concessions 101, included a presentation reviewing the Concessions program for retailers and restaurants, how to find and take part in solicitations at the Airport, registering for and using TPA’s Procurement Portal, the Small Business Enterprise Program, plus a general overview of the Tampa Bay region and market.
TPA Vice President of Concessions and Commercial Parking Laurie Noyes opened the presentation featuring several department heads and shared how to get involved with the Airport’s Concessions program.
“Our award-winning Concessions program currently gives our guests premium shopping and dining options that support and enhance the traveling experience at TPA,” she said. “We are working now to inform and educate interested vendors and community members in order to expand upon that tradition as we continue to plan for the Airport’s projected growth.”
Business owners from across the region and the country attended the session, with some registered guests coming from as far away as California and Canada.
Concessions 101 was the second in a series of information sessions about business opportunities at the Airport. The first session, “Doing Business With TPA,” was in March and focused mostly on Airside D, a state-of-the-art, 16-gate Airside terminal for international and domestic routes.
Future information sessions with more specifics about solicitations will be held in 2026. Dates for those sessions will be announced in the future.
