As part of a major expansion, Dallas Fort-Worth International Airport has put out a call for vendors to pitch new eateries.

The airport is about to begin construction on more than $5 billion worth of new terminal facilities later this year, and has issued a public Request for Proposals (RFP) for 38 new retail and dining locations across all terminals — including 17 food & beverage concepts, and 17 retail stores.

A release calls it the largest single concessions opportunity at DFW since Terminal D opened in 2005.

The RFP package — which can be found online and is open for submissions until August 12 — will complement DFW’s current portfolio of more than 200 concessions. The opportunities include everything from grab-and-go to sit-down restaurants to retail services.

For dining, they're seeking specific options as follows:

• Terminal A: Snacks, bar, desserts, grab & go, fast food chicken, blended market, fast food pizza, quick serve salad
• Terminal B: Fast food hot dog, Italian cuisine, fast food burger, juice bar, coffee, candy
• Terminal C: Flexible quick serve, blended market, dessert, snack
• Terminal E: Coffee, snack, grab & go

The airport is expanding its capacity over the next few years with additional gates in Terminals A and C, alongside the construction of an all-new Terminal F and the reconstruction of Terminal C.

Terminal D will be geared more toward retail, such as electronics and apparel. Additional retail and dining opportunities will be announced later this year, including concession opportunities for Terminal F.

"Over the next few years, DFW will be nearly doubling the space available to its already world-class shopping and dining program,” says executive VP of Revenue Management and Customer Experience Ken Buchanan in a statement.

"This is an all-inclusive opportunity for both our veteran concessionaires to consider expanding, as well as for newcomers in the community who operate street locations or other small businesses, to participate in the tremendous economic opportunity that DFW provides," Buchanan says. "We are committed to including small, diverse companies who represent local flavors or national brands.”

DFW served a record 81.7 million passengers in 2023 and is on track to serve more than 100 million customers each year by 2030.
