Travel caterer SSP opens fist airside Starbucks at Edinburgh Airport
Abstract
SSP Group has joined forces with Starbucks to expand their travel retail partnership by opening their first airside store at Edinburgh Airport.

Located in the departures area, it is one of the largest retail offerings at the airport, providing take-away service as well as 75 seats for passengers to relax over coffee before their flight.

Cathy Granby, SSP UK & Ireland’s business development director, said: “Opening this new Starbucks store at Edinburgh Airport provides passengers with an elevated pre-departure experience from a leading brand. We have enjoyed great success with Starbucks at number of UK travel hubs and I’m confident that we’ll do the same here in Edinburgh.”

The store is open daily between 04:00 and 22:00, increasing to 24/7 during the busiest summer travel season from July to October.

Gail Taylor, Edinburgh Airport’s chief commercial officer (Non-Aero), added: “There’s been a ‘latte’ excitement around this new Starbucks, and we’re excited to see it open and start to serve customers and staff.

“We know having a well-known name and brand such as Starbucks continuing to serve people in the departures area at Edinburgh Airport will go down a treat with those travelling through. It’s been something our passengers have wanted to see, and it provides more options for them as they head through.”
