Tailwind Hospitality Brings Açaí Specialist Sambazon to Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Airport

Oct 16, 2024

Hebron, KY — Tailwind Hospitality has opened its first concession, Sambazon Açaí Bowls, at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport. The 67sq m food & beverage venue has a staple offer of açaí bowls and smoothies, along with other healthy snacks.

Located post-security in Concourse B, this Sambazon concession is the first opening for the Californian brand in the US midwestern region.

In addition to healthy to-go food options, the venue also serves drinks, including Margaritas made with a mix of açaí and local spirits.

The brightly lit store features large digital menu boards and a digital order kiosk. Meanwhile, a digital screen outside the venue shares the Sambazon story and how the company harvests açaí.

Speaking to The Moodie Davitt Report about upcoming F&B activity at the travel hub, Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport Director of Commercial Management Carlos Ruiz said: “We are working with SSP on building out locations awarded earlier this year and they should begin opening in first quarter of 2025.

“In addition, we are currently in the bid process for two QSR locations in the Concourse B food court. There will be more announcements later this year.”
