New concessions and a revamped "Central Market" food court at Chicago's Midway International Airport will soon open back up to travelers.
The renovated "Central Market" was unveiled Wednesday morning at Midway Airport. The market, officials said, is the "final major phase" of a $400 million airport modernization program.
"I am proud of Midway’s long track record of investing in diverse local businesses, with the highest Airport Concessions Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (ACDBE) participation rate in the nation,” CDA Commissioner Jamie L. Rhee said in a statement. “This ribbon-cutting completes our ambitious Midway Modernization Program and underscores Mayor Johnson’s ongoing commitment to supporting our diverse team of airport concessionaires at both airports, which represent a key pillar of Chicago’s economy.”
The revamped market, located at the intersection of concourses A and B, is "home to a mix of new and existing brands," including:
- Connie’s Pizza
- America’s Dog and Burger
- White Sox Bar and Grill
- M Burger
- Beecher’s Handmade Cheese
- Dunkin’
- Reilly’s Daughter
Retail locations include:
- Evolve
- Tumi
- MAC/Jo Malone
O'Hare International Airport has recently seen the opening of several new restaurants, including Chick-fil-A, Protein Kitchen + Bar, and an outpost of popular Chicago restaurant The Dearborn.
