The new Terminal B connector at Boston Logan International (BOS) has opened, and Airmall USA has unveiled a slew of new shopping and dining options for travelers.
“We are ushering in a new era in retail at Logan airport,” says Michael Caro, vice president of Airmall Boston. “United’s new connector represents an investment in the future of the airport and our region as a top destination for leisure and business travel. Since 2000, our focus has been improving the retail experience in Terminals B and E as part of the modernization program. Today, we’re shining the spotlight on the region with exciting concepts like Berkshire Farms Market and Stephanie’s, as well as national brands, to delight passengers.”
More than $3.7 million was invested in the construction of new retail units, which add 5,000 square feet of concessions space in Terminal B. Local contractors performed all construction work, and the new concessions bring 138 jobs to the airport.
“It’s a proud day for our tenants, our partners at Massport and our team,” Caro adds. “We’re honored to welcome more local concepts and beloved brands to Logan.”
It is the first time American Airlines and US Airways operations are connected beyond security, allowing travelers to access their gates, existing concessions, and the new shops and amenities without having to go back through a security checkpoint.
The latest openings include Berkshire Farms Market, which brings in artisan food purveyors from in and around the Berkshires; more than a dozen regional brands are represented. At Legal Sea Foods, diners will find oysters, clams, crab and other favorites from Boston’s waters. Peet’s Coffee & Tea offers specialty coffee and tea. An institution in Boston’s Back Bay, Stephanie’s features meals in banquettes and street-side tables in a modern setting. Travelers needing some spa time can find it at Be Relax, which offers a line of beauty and well-being services such as massage, facials, manicures and oxygen aromatherapy. Boston America! allows consumers to show off their Boston pride with gifts and merchandise supporting the Patriots, Red Sox and Bruins. And Hudson carries travel essentials such as magazines, health and beauty aids, snacks and beverages, souvenirs and gifts from the area’s attractions.
Airmall Boston marked the opening of the new connector with a farmers’ market at Berkshire Farms Market. The celebration continues with a sweepstakes awarding a getaway for two to the Berkshires; the three-day package includes a stay at Cranwell Resort, Spa and Golf Club, and a trip to the Lenox Farmers’ Market. Passengers can enter the contest, which runs through May 31, in the terminal.
