The construction wall is down and sandwiches are being served on Concourse A at Angie’s Subs at Jacksonville International Airport.
“They’re running on limited hours as crews are still in training, but they were taking orders from passengers today,” Jacksonville Aviation Authority spokesperson Greg Willis said Jan. 29.
Willis, JAA marketing and public relations manager, said a ribbon-cutting is tentatively expected Feb. 28.
He said previously that HMSHost would operate the Angie’s Subs space with limited hours for a week or two before then to train staff.
HMSHost operates most of the dining areas at the airport with Lee Wesley Group. Host-Lee JAX FB LLC of Bethesda, Maryland, registered the name Angie’s Subs (Concourse A) with the state Jan. 17.
Jacksonville-based Auld & White Constructors LLC built-out Angie’s Subs in 800 square feet of space post-security at a project cost of $426,800.
The JAA has said Jacksonville Beach-based Angie’s Subs will open a quick-service restaurant in early 2024 with a limited menu of about 10 of its most popular subs, including its signature, The Peruvian, made with ham, salami, bacon, Italian sausage, provolone cheese and Angie’s Peruvian sauce.
The restaurant will have a grab-and-go section with cold subs and salads, as well as bottles of hot sauce and Peruvian sauce for sale. It also will have breakfast items.
The authority is bringing more Northeast Florida flavor to the concessions at the airport at 2400 Yankee Clipper Drive in North Jacksonville.
