HMSHost Opens Two New Concepts at Stockholm Skavsta Airport

Jan. 16, 2017

After last year’s announcement of HMSHost International expanding its business in Norway and Finland, the world leader of food & beverage operator at airports opens two new concepts at Stockholm Skavsta Airport. Before the summer of 2017 HMSHost will celebrate the opening of the Nordic Bar and a Puro Gusto outlet with the finest Italian Coffee. These new openings are the continuation of a program which is in line with our strategy of expanding in the Nordics. A new 10 year contract is signed and total contract Sales is expected to be 610 million Kroner / 63,5 million euro.

In the Nordic Bar HMSHost has taken the simplicity of the Nordic lifestyle and translated it to a basic and functional concept. The menu is driven by a locally sourced, seasonal offer as well as a variety of international favourite items. At the Nordic Kitchen guests find a combination of recognizable and surprising food and beverage items like sausages, the famous Swedish meatballs and homemade burgers. All prepared in front of the guests. For the Nordic Bar HMSHost selected the best crafted beer available in Scandinavia. It offers five draft beers including one seasonal beer and next to that, the Nordic Bar has a selection of local Scandinavian bottled beers.

Puro Gusto invites, tempts and indulges its customers with a taste of great coffee and Italian bakery products, hot and cold dishes and sandwiches, all crafted to the highest standards and the greatest dedication to quality. From fresh, crisp salads to flavourful breads with great toppings, all offerings are prepared fresh daily.

Walter Seib, CEO of HMSHost International said, “Since 2004 we operate a Food Hall, bar and coffee shop at Stockholm Skavsta Airport and we are proud of being part of the next phase of this Swedish airport. A region which is famous for their Nordic lifestyle and I believe we can contribute to that with our mix of international favourites and popular local dishes.”

Peter Steinmetz, managing director of Stockholm Skavsta Airport, said, “We have come to know HMSHost as a reliable partner over the years and are quite happy with the conditions of the new contract, which, we feel are beneficial to both parties. HMSHost is a reputable food & beverage operator at airports internationally with a feel for the Nordic environment. The new concepts, with their revamped layout, will contribute much to upgrading of both the appearance and the service levels at our airport.”
