The seven packages are part of the airport's renewal concessions program in conjunction with the $2.3 billion terminal renewal and improvement program (TRIP).
The approved packages and TRIP renovations will include new restaurants and retail concepts, allocation of 50% more space for concessions in Terminals B and E, creating more restaurant seating space and addresses projections for increasing passenger counts to 2020 and beyond.
The local, national and international brands approved in the RFP include food and beverage - Blue Mesa Taco & Tequila Bar, Genghis Grill and Wendy's; retail - today/La Crème, Southwest News/La Crème, SoundBalance, and Lone Star Attitude.
In addition, DFW will conduct several more TRIP-related RFPs for concessions outlets that include additional offerings for terminals B and E, a complete renewal for terminal C, as well as forthcoming opportunities for terminal D in DFW's International.
Renovations to DFW's four original terminals under the TRIP program are scheduled to be completed in 2017.
DFW Airport's CEO, Jeff Fegan, said: "Trusted brands and local flavor are important to our customers, and we are thrilled to add more passenger-driven concepts to our retail and restaurant offerings."
DFW International Airport offers nearly 1,750 flights per day and serves 57 million passengers a year. It also provides non-stop service to 148 domestic and 50 international destinations worldwide.
