Glasgow Airport, part of AGS Airports, has opened a new dining experience – Sanfords American Diner. Located in the airport’s main departure lounge, Sanfords is designed to bring a vibrant slice of Americana to the terminal, offering a family-friendly menu.
The opening of Sanfords follows the successful launch of Primo Volo, an Italian café that began welcoming customers in July. Both venues are part of a wider £3.7 million investment programme aimed at transforming Glasgow Airport’s food, beverage, and retail offering.
“We’re excited to welcome Sanfords to our departure lounge, adding even more variety and energy to our food and beverage line-up,” said Craig Norton, Head of Retail Development, Glasgow Airport. “Following the fantastic response to Primo Volo, Sanfords continues our commitment to enhancing the passenger experience and delivering a modern, welcoming terminal environment.”
Operated by TRGC, one of the UK’s leading travel hub hospitality providers, Sanfords replaces the former Frankie & Benny’s unit and is designed to cater to families, solo travellers, and groups alike. The wider improvement programme also includes:
- Enhancements to the Bird & Signet bar and kitchen.
- The relocation of the Stack & Still pancake unit.
- New Accessorize and Travelex units.
- Upgrades to both airside and landside retail spaces, as well as improvements to the departure lounge.
Glasgow Airport is part of AGS Airports which also comprises Aberdeen and Southampton airports. AGS was acquired by AviAlliance earlier this year, which subsequently announced plans to invest £350 million in the future growth and decarbonisation of AGS over the course of the next five years. The new retail developments are part of that investment, which will also include a comprehensive transformation of Glasgow Airport’s main terminal building as it aims to deliver best-in-class operational and retail facilities for passengers.
