Vancouver International Airport (YVR) has partnered with SSP Canada, a division of SSP Group, to enhance the food and beverage offering with the opening of popular local brand, Romer’s Fresh Kitchen & Bar.
“We take great pride in bringing local, best-in-class brands to YVR that reflect the flavours, values, and creativity of our region, and partnering with Romer’s Fresh Kitchen & Bar is an important part of this commitment,” said Eric Pateman, Vice President of Passenger Experience and Chief Experience Officer, YVR. “With the opening of Romer’s at YVR, we’re thrilled that passengers now have yet another favourite Vancouver restaurant to enjoy – with high-quality menu options made from locally sourced ingredients – as they travel through the airport.”
Since 2010, Romer’s has continued to evolve while staying true to its original commitment to be simple, fresh, local, and a part of Vancouver’s neighbourhoods. The menu is focused on casual dining inspired by the region’s west coast lifestyle. Located past the security checkpoint in the transborder area, Romer’s Fresh Kitchen & Bar will give both locals and international travellers a taste of Vancouver.
“As a BC native, bringing local restaurants to Vancouver International Airport is near and dear to my heart,” said Richard Wilson, Vice President of Brands and Concepts, SSP Canada. “YVR’s culinary scene has become a destination in itself, and SSP Canada is proud to have been part of this community for nearly 20 years. With the opening of Romer’s, we bring an iconic taste of place, featuring a brand known for its fresh burgers and locally sourced ingredients. Thank you to Romer’s and YVR for working with us to bring yet another great local concept to the terminal.”
