Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) has expanded its retail and dining options with the opening of new outlets in Terminal 3 and Bradley West Gates. Among the new additions are Fat Sal's, a well-known L.A. sandwich shop, and Yakumi, a fast-casual sushi concept. These locations mark the first airport ventures for both Los Angeles-based restaurants.

David Jones, Deputy Executive Director for Commercial Development at LAWA, expressed enthusiasm about these openings: "Los Angeles is home to truly unique combinations of retail and dining experiences that you won't find anywhere else, so we are thrilled to have Fat Sal's, Yakumi and Jocale join us in sharing these experiences with our guests to enjoy at LAX."

The new concessions reflect LAWA and URW's commitment to diverse participation through the LAX concessions program. Each business includes ownership by an Airport Concession Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (ACDBE) partner. The U.S. Department of Transportation sets eligibility standards for ACDBE certification.
