(ATLANTA) September 2016 – Concessions International (CI) will open a Chick-fil-A restaurant at the Denver International Airport on Wednesday,
September 14. The restaurant will be located in the center food court in Concourse B and will operate from 5:00 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Chick-fil-A menu favorites like the Original Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich, chicken nuggets, Waffle Potato Fries®, hand-cut salads and fresh-squeezed lemonade

more healthful options like the new Egg White Grill sandwich for breakfast and the Chick-fil-A Grilled Chicken Sandwich and Spicy Southwest Salad for

“CI is excited to partner with Delarosa Restaurant Concepts to bring the first Chick-fil-A to Denver International Airport,” says Donata Russell Ross,
CI’s Chief Executive Officer. “The Chick-fil-A brand is recognized by travelers across the world and performs above other restaurant concepts in the
marketplace.”
The new location is a joint venture between CI and Delarosa Restaurant Concepts, an ACDBE partner – airport concessions disadvantaged business enterprise.
