“I want to thank my mother and father, because without them, none of this would have been possible,” said Dominic Mineo, co-owner of Mineo’s. “It’s a special occasion. I know they’re up in heaven, looking down right now and smiling.”
Mineo’s is sharing a concession space next to Marathon Diner, owned by the Janis family, with more than 30 years as airport concessionaires.
Mineo’s joins Mi Casa Cantina and Bad Egg Breakfast Bar as the newest food options on airside.
