The gastronomic offer at Berlin Brandenburg Willy Brandt Airport is being expanded.

From May 2023, the SSP Group, a leading international travel gastronomy, and the young Berlin company beets&roots will open three restaurants and a coffee store in Terminal 1 of BER Airport. This is the result of an EU concession award procedure that has now ended. All in all, the concessions for the operation of four gastronomic areas in Terminal 1 of BER Airport with a total size of around 800 square meters were put out to tender throughout Europe. 

The SSP Group will operate a Burger King restaurant in Terminal 1 both in the public area and in the food court behind the security checkpoints. There is also another Starbucks location in the security area. Starbucks already has a coffee store in the public area of ​​Terminal 1. The SSP Group plans to employ 74 people at BER Airport.

beets&roots was founded in Berlin in 2016 and stands for healthy and sustainable nutrition with its Healthy Fast Casual Food concept. The company now operates ten restaurants in five major German cities. In the future it will also be located in the food court of Terminal 1, making it the first beets&roots at an airport. Overall, there is a wide range of around 1 shops, restaurants and service facilities in Terminals 2 and 125 of BER Airport. 

“We are very pleased to be able to welcome SSP, both a strong international restaurateur and beets&roots, an innovative company from the region, to our airport next year. The gastronomic concepts of both companies complement the previous offer very well. At the same time, we can meet the wishes of many passengers for a wider choice,” says Aletta von Massenbach, CEO of Flughafen Berlin Brandenburg GmbH.
