"At AIRMALL USA, we believe that eye-catching and compelling design is a critical component of our concessions model because curb appeal and accessibility translate into higher sales," said Mark Knight, president of AIRMALL USA.  "Additionally, strong management and a commitment to customer service are keys to enhancing the passenger experience.  Concessions workers who understand and adjust to a traveler's needs can help drive sales and increase per- passenger spend."

"We're pleased that ARN honored the AIRMALL at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport with several awards," added Ricky Smith, director of Cleveland Hopkins International Airport.  "Since its opening last year, the new AIRMALL has set a new standard for quality in airport concessions.  It has truly changed the face of the airport, and passengers have responded to the dynamic mix of retail, restaurant and specialty concepts."
