Global brands are an essential feature of any travel hub. These familiar names offer reassurance and a guarantee of quality to the international traveller. Over many decades, we have partnered with some of the world’s biggest names. These companies trust us to serve their customers to standards that are equally as good, if not higher, than those on the high-street.
Founded on the island of Kyushu in southern Japan in 1968, Ajisen Ramen specialises in offering delicious home-style Japanese noodle dishes and quick and friendly service. Its extensive range of signature dishes includes its famous tonkotsu soup (pork broth), which is carefully slow cooked to draw out the authentic flavour.
Ajisen Ramen’s simple, tasty and convenient dishes have proven to be ideal for the travel retail sector. Through its partnership with SSP, the brand has increased its international presence at some of the world’s busiest travel sites.
Founded in 1954, the Burger King brand is the second largest fast food hamburger chain in the world. The original home of the Whopper, the Burger King system operates more than 17,800 locations in more than 100 countries and U.S. territories. Almost 100 percent of Burger King restaurants are owned and operated by independent franchisees.
Burger King restaurants are known for serving high-quality, great-tasting, and affordable food, and a commitment to premium ingredients, signature recipes, and family-friendly dining experiences is what has defined the brand for more than 50 successful years.
SSP operates Burger King in more than 100 air and rail travel locations in the UK, Ireland, Spain, Belgium, Germany, Hungary, Sweden, Egypt, Switzerland, Cyprus, China, Hong Kong, Thailand and United Arab Emirates. It has recently introduced the brand in new territories including Bahrain and Rhodes. SSP also launched Burger King at Athens International Airport, marking the restaurant’s first appearance on mainland Greece.
The partnership between celebrity chef Jamie Oliver and SSP led to SSP bringing the Jamie’s Italian brand to the travel retail sector for the first time, enabling passengers to enjoy the famous chef’s distinctive take on simple but tasty Italian food made using only the finest ingredients.
The relationship has been further strengthened with the addition of Jamie’s Deli to SSP’s line-up. Jamie’s Deli is all about taking grab ‘n’ go food to the next level, serving up healthy and balanced dishes made from the best ingredients. From hot breakfast items to fresh salads, homemade sandwiches, artisan pizza, cakes, pastries, smoothies and much more, Jamie’s Deli has something for everyone, whether you’re grabbing something to go or eating in.
SSP operates 12 Jamie Oliver units in Austria, Finland, France, the Netherlands, Norway and Spain, and has further unit openings planned in Brazil and Bahrain.
Since 1971, Starbucks Coffee Company has been committed to ethically sourcing and roasting high-quality Arabica coffee. Today, with 30,000 retail stores in 78 markets, Starbucks is the premier roaster and retailer of speciality coffee in the world.
SSP and Starbucks joined forces in 2008 and the partnership has continued to go from strength-to-strength, with SSP now operating Starbucks outlets at key travel locations across Europe. These outlets offer passengers the same high standards of service, choice and quality of product they would expect to find at a high street Starbucks store.
YO! Sushi has been serving fun, fast and fresh Japanese food to diners since 1997. Pioneering the famous ‘Kaiten’ conveyer belt in the UK, the format delivers sushi, sashimi and other classic Japanese dishes directly to customers. The brand now operates close to 100 restaurants across eight countries, including France, the US, Scandinavia, Australia and the United Arab Emirates.
SSP first began working with YO! Sushi in 2012 with the launch of the YO! Sushi restaurant at Oslo Airport, which marked the debut for the brand in the Nordics. The outlet was awarded the Best Self Service/Assisted Service accolade at the Moodie FAB Awards a few months after opening.
