Hartsfield-Jackson concessions director departs

By
Sept 19, 2014

Hartsfield-Jackson International’s concessions director Paul Brown is no longer with the airport, according to an airport spokesman.

Brown joined the airport in 2010 as the concessions director, leading the food and beverage program, terminal concessions, advertising and car rental agreements.

Brown managed the concessions program through its massive revamp of restaurants. The procurement process ran into legal challenges and delays in 2012. Since then, the airport has opened nearly 150 new concessions.

The airport is currently in the midst of rebidding its controversial advertising contract for the first time since 2002.
