Cherry Capital Airport officials have recently announced the transformation in its food and beverage concessions area will get underway this week. “We will be making changes over the next 30 to 45 days to the area currently offering new food and beverage options to our boarding passengers. The airport will be working with Heather and Tom Lemcool, current operators of Cherry Country Traditions, to unify the concessions before passenger security with those after the check point. This will provide better choices for the traveling public, such as gift items, and a greater selection of beverage items, including beer and wine. The transition will begin on Wednesday, March 31 with real work beginning Thursday, April 1. We hope to minimize the inconvenience to our guests making their way to their boarding gates,” Stephen Cassens, airport director noted. The transformation will occur in two phases, with cosmetic and product updates starting April 1, 2010, and phase two starting after the summer rush, to include a remake of the counter area in the coffee serving area.
The transformation will result in the introduction of new culinary and beverages options including superior coffee brands, and the ability to purchase beer and wine. The new facility will also allow for passengers to purchase locally produced wines and then board the aircraft with their gifts from the region. “This is something that our visitors will take delight in knowing that they can indeed take home a few of the fruits of our region,” Cassens went on to say.
This transformation in its food and beverage offerings is just one more example of how Cherry Capital Airport is continuing to fulfill its commitment to offering quality services and convenience – all in a small town atmosphere. Cherry Capital Airport is an important part of the National Air Transportation System, now the fourth largest passenger service airport in Michigan – keeping the Northwestern region of the state connected to the world – whether traveling in- or out-bound. The Cherry Capital Airport terminal complex is located on South Airport Road, between South Garfield Avenue and Three Mile Road in Traverse City, Michigan.
Cherry Capital Airport officials are pleased to announce that the United States Department of Transportation has made an award of $400,000 to the regional airport under its ‘Small Community Air Service Development Program’. The Grant includes a local match of $75,000; $50,000 coming from Cherry Capital Airport and $25,000 pledged by the Traverse City Area Chamber of Commerce.
