Eataly’s First 3 U.S. Travel Locations Set for New York’s JFK Airport
May 8, 2025 | 1 min to read
Eataly, the high-end Italian marketplace, is set to open its first U.S. travel locations at John F. Kennedy International Airport this year, featuring three units in terminals 4, 5, and 8. These spaces will be managed by HMSHost, as part of the expansive retail operations at JFK, overseen by Fraport USA. The unique terminal designs will reflect Eataly’s distinct styles found in its New York City locations.
The Italian marketplace and high-end retail concept, Eataly—which now has 13 North American locations and over 50 stores worldwide—will open three units at John F. Kennedy International Airport this year, its first in a U.S. travel location.
Landing at terminals 4, 5, and 8, the retail spaces will be operated by HMSHost, part of the world’s biggest airport retailer Avolta, which has expanded its JFK footprint with contract wins at T5 (more on that below), awarded by concessions developer Fraport USA. Fraport was appointed by JetBlue, the primary airline tenant at the terminal.
Eataly—majority owned (with a stake of 52%) by the well diversified European investment company Investindustrial—has plans for tailored spaces adapted to each terminal, in the same way that its three New York City locations in downtown, Flatiron and Soho have their own distinct look and feel.
