Fifteen-year leases for seafood restaurant Salt & Tide and Jacksonville-based Pura Bean Coffee to operate in Jacksonville International Airport Concourse B are up for consideration by the Jacksonville Aviation Authority Board on Feb. 2.<\/p>\n

Salt & Tide<\/p>\n

According to a JAA staff report, seafood is prominent on Salt & Tide menu, but the restaurant also serves hamburgers, chicken and vegetarian dishes.<\/p>\n

\"Salt<\/p>\n

Myrtle Beach International Airport<\/p>\n

Plans call for Salt & Tide to occupy 3,237 square feet in Concourse B, which is under construction.<\/p>\n

Salt & Tide operates at Myrtle Beach International Airport and Sarasota Bradenton International Airport, but as bar kiosks.<\/p>\n

Pura Bean Coffee Co.<\/p>\n

Pura Bean Coffee Co., founded in 1997 at 14286 Beach Blvd., serves locally roasted coffee drinks, breakfast croissants and other baked goods. The 1,466-square-foot coffee plans to partner with local bakery Village Bread and Bagel to expand its menu at the airport.<\/p>\n

\u201cBoth restaurants enhance the airport\u2019s concession line up with a distinct local feel featuring a wide selection of grab-and-go options, including sandwiches, wraps, salads, grain bowls and more,\u201d the report says.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Paradies Lagard\u00e8re to run<\/p>\n

Airport retail and restaurant operator Paradies Lagard\u00e8re Travel Retail will manage both concepts and is required to spend no less than $4.6 million to improve the spaces.<\/p>\n

Under the agreements, Paradies Lagard\u00e8re will pay JAA 11% of food and non-alcoholic beverage sales during the first five years, rising to 12% in years six through 15. Alcoholic beverage sales fees will carry a flat 18% fee for the duration of the leases.<\/p>\n

\"Cantina<\/p>\n

More restaurants<\/p>\n

The proposed leases follow a series of recent JAA restaurant approvals for Concourse B.<\/p>\n

On Nov. 22 Cantina Louie Mexican Street Food was confirmed at the planned Concourse B Oak & Ocean Food Hall. The restaurant is planned to open as Cantina Louie\u2019s 13th overall, according to its website. The Jacksonville Beach-based restaurant chain also has locations in North Carolina.<\/p>\n

JAA unanimously approved 15-year lease agreements Nov. 19 that will bring Chick-fil-A, Panda Express and Northeast Florida-founded restaurants V Pizza and Willie Jewell\u2019s Old School Bar-B-Q to the food hall.<\/p>\n

Host International Inc., which operates concessions at JIA, will staff and manage those restaurants.<\/p>\n

Other local restaurants at JIA include two Southern Grounds coffee shop locations and Angie\u2019s Subs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Concourse B, with an estimated cost of about $344 million, will add six gates at JIA and will be operated by American Airlines. It is scheduled to open in December 2026 along with a new 2,000-space parking garage.<\/p>\n

Funding sources for Concourse B include a mix of Florida Department of Transportation and Federal Aviation Administration grants and JAA money.<\/p>\n
