A new agreement between Long Beach Airport and concession partner Paradies Lagardère will bring additional dining and retail options to the airport. The 14-year contract allows Paradies Lagardère to operate new pre-security concessions in the Meeters and Greeters Plaza and in the Historic Terminal, while also extending its current post-security operations through November 30, 2039.
According to city officials, these changes are part of ongoing efforts to modernize the airport and improve passenger experience. Mayor Rex Richardson stated, “Our award-winning Airport continues to prove why it’s the preferred gateway to Southern California. On top of other recent modernizations, as well as our live music offerings, revitalized concessions ensure that we’re giving visitors a real taste of Long Beach.”
The agreement includes more than $1.8 million in capital improvements for building out pre-security concessions with fast-casual and grab-and-go options. Additionally, Paradies Lagardère plans to invest about $3.6 million in post-security areas for enhanced food, beverage, and retail services. Planned upgrades include reimagined seating areas, expanded patio dining, upgraded storefronts, and refreshed concepts that align with Long Beach Airport’s brand.
