Source: DIA WingTips Newsletter, September 2010 issue
"Big Numbers = Big Opportunities
Two hundred forty million, 50 million, 176,000, and 1,500 are four reasons why owning a business at Denver International Airport is so exciting.
By 2015, 80 percent of the current concession contracts (retail, dining, and service businesses) will expire at DIA. So, the airport is urging anyone interested in opening a unique and vibrant (and profitable) business at the airport to sign up on DIA’s Web site for e-mail notifications of upcoming business possibilities.
So, what are the big numbers all about?
-$240 million were generated in 2009 by DIA concessionaires
-50 million-plus passengers travel through the airport yearly
-176,000 square feet of concession spaces are located throughout DIA
-$1,500 per square foot in sales were achieved by airport concessions
To get information about DIA’s concessions program and to sign up to be notified of all upcoming airport opportunities, send your message to this e-mail address: concessions@flydenver.com."
