Brands - SSP America

The Leader in Operating Authentic Brands

Our portfolio of brands is formidable and our developers are the best in the business. With long-term partnerships that span from coast to coast, our brands don’t just represent the regional landscape, they define it. Of the hundreds of brands SSP America operates, almost all of them are single, one time brands that will have no other locations.

If you are a brand owner, considering a partnership with SSP America, we understand how hard you’ve worked to develop an award-winning restaurant. And, now you’re considering bringing that restaurant to the airport. But, you need a partner you can trust—a partner who is not a cookie cutter operator.

We list just a few of the hundreds of brands we operate below as examples of the brands we love and the partnerships we’ve forged. SSP America is the proven partner to authentic, cool brands.

Boccone Trattoria Veloce
Toronto Pearson International Airport

Chef Massimo Capra is one of the brightest stars in Toronto’s culinary sky—known throughout Canada for his successful restaurants, books and television appearances.

YYZ’s Boccone Trattoria Veloce is as energetic as the masterful chef—designed with warm wood and accented with whimsical, culinary graphics and sleek red seating. The menu brings Chef Capra’s personality to life with rustic, freshly prepared authentic Italian fare. From pasta courses of Tagliatelle with Meat Ragu to main course choices of Breaded Veal Cutlets with Arugula and Parmigiana Salad—all of the dishes are steeped in the culinary heritage of Italy.

“My restaurants at Toronto Pearson have increased awareness of my brand in parts of the globe I hadn’t even thought of. Some of the guests were and are aware of me already, but being at Pearson has definitely given me a much wider platform.”

Matt’s Big Breakfast
Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport

Matt’s Big Breakfast is a titan of the Phoenix casual dining scene, attracting a tribe of faithful patrons. One of the many units SSP America manages and operates at PHX, Matt’s serves almost 6,000 passengers weekly. In-house, the home fries are hand-cut, the citrus is freshly squeezed and the burgers are hand patted, and then griddled in pure local butter. Matt’s isn’t just a restaurant—it’s an endeared member of the local community and a welcome sight to travelers at PHX.

Accolades: The New York Times; Food Network’s The Best Thing I Ever Ate and Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives; ARN’s award for Best Chef-Driven, Local or Regional Restaurant.

“By branding themselves as a company as the “Food Travel Experts” SSP demonstrated a commitment to a food-first focus as an airport operator. This is an approach unique in the industry and was the only way in the world we would ever have considered taking our small “mom and pop” ingredient-driven restaurant into an airport environment.”

1300 on Fillmore
San Francisco International Airport

1300 on Fillmore is at home in San Francisco—a city globally renowned for its restaurant scene. Here, SSP America partnered with wife and husband team, Monetta White and Chef David Lawrence, to bring SFO passengers the elegance of the original street side restaurant.

With each bite, guests are transported back to the glitz and glamour of the Fillmore District’s celebrated jazz era.

“Everything we do—our cuisine, our décor, our Sunday gospel brunch, our live jazz—reflects the early influences of San Francisco. There’s so much soul, richness and music in Fillmore history. We’ve embraced and elevated the Fillmore culture. It’s more than a restaurant. It’s art. It’s community.”
