DULLES, VA — A slate of new concessions are scheduled to begin construction later this year at Washington Dulles International Airport, according to a release from the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority.

The concessions will feature many local brands D.C. area travelers should be familiar with.

“The brands selected will provide customers with a curated Washington region experience,” said Jaimini Erskine, MWAA's vice president for marketing and concessions, in a release. “In this round, numerous proposals were submitted from operators who will bring local flavors and a greater variety of offerings for a memorable experience for our airport passengers.”

The following are the 14 new concessions that will be coming to Dulles Airport:

MWAA and Marketplace Development announced the first phase of concessions redevelopment project last September for both Dulles Airport and Ronald Reagan National Washington National Airport in Arlington. Each airport already has five new concessions in various stages of development that expected to begin opening this summer, according to the release.

Michael DiCosola, president of Marketplace Development, said in a release that the recently awarded concessions will expand the retail and dining options available to travelers at both airports. By 2026, more than 80 new concessions are expected to have opened between both airports.
