Bremen Airport: new unique space for shopping and dining from 2027
At Bremen Airport, the commercial and gastronomic offer is changing. From 1 November 2026, smartseller, a joint venture between Gebr. Heinemann and the travel catering specialist Casualfood, has taken over the management of the airport's retail and food & beverage activities under a ten-year concession.
For passengers, the most important news will come in the second quarter of 2027, when the current duty free and the adjacent catering point in the main terminal will be combined in a single space of about 880 square meters.
Until the start of the works, the existing activities will continue to operate regularly. The transformation of the spaces is planned from the beginning of 2027 and will lead to the creation of an environment in which shopping and catering will be integrated within the same concept.
The project will follow the "You Are Here" model developed by smartseller, designed to strengthen the link between the airport and the territory. The offer will therefore include regional products, collaborations with local realities and design elements inspired by Bremen, with the aim of making the store more recognizable and linked to the destination.
Particular attention will also be paid to families: in fact, in the new space there will be an area dedicated to children, designed to make the time spent at the airport before departure more pleasant.
The project will not end with the opening in 2027. A second expansion phase is planned from April 2029 , with the integration of an additional area intended mainly for food & beverage. The total area will thus reach about 1,000 square meters.
With Bremen Airport, smartseller is strengthening its presence at regional airports. In Germany, the model is already present in Münster/Osnabrück, Leipzig/Halle and Nuremberg, while internationally it also operates at Ljubljana Airport.
For Travellers, the project therefore introduces a more integrated model between shopping and catering, with a greater presence of local products and services designed to concentrate in a single environment different needs of the time spent at the airport.
