(United States, 24th March 2026): SSP America, a division of SSP Group, a leading operator of food and beverage brands in travel locations worldwide, today announced a new lineup of locally rooted dining concepts coming to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) as part of the ongoing redevelopment of Terminal 4.

Expected to start opening in late 2026, the openings reflect SSP America’s continued commitment to delivering a true taste of place by partnering with celebrated Arizona brands that showcase the region’s culinary identity, creativity, and hospitality.

Designed to enhance the passenger experience while meeting the pace of modern travel, the new concepts bring together a diverse mix of full-service dining, casual eateries, and all-day offerings—each thoughtfully selected to represent Phoenix’s dynamic food scene.

“We’re excited to welcome SSP’s new lineup of local restaurants to Terminal 4,” said PHX Aviation Director Chad Makovsky. “Bringing well-known hometown flavors into the Airport not only elevates the passenger experience but provides travelers with an even greater opportunity to enjoy authentic local cuisine that reflects the spirit of our city.”

The concept lineup is as follows:

Greenwood Brewing: Greenwood Brewing is an award‑winning, woman‑owned craft brewery in Downtown Phoenix, celebrated for its high‑quality beers and community‑inspired, desert‑rooted vibe. At PHX, Greenwood will showcase a curated lineup of beers, complementary cocktail and wine program, and a menu reflecting the flavors of Arizona. The space will feature an elevated design and Greenwood’s warm, welcoming atmosphere – bringing a true sense of Phoenix to travelers.

The Farm at South Mountain: This space is a celebration of all things Arizona and includes four components. The Kitchen will feature the farm-to-table dishes that have made this brand a local favorite. Morning Glory Café is one of Arizona’s signature breakfast cafés and will serve omelets, bowls, and fresh baked goods. The Bar is a casual yet refined all-day craft cocktail experience inspired by Arizona flavors. And, the Coffee Bar will offer travelers an assortment of coffees and beverages along with grab and go pastries, snacks and more.

Ingo’s Tasty Food: A locally loved Arizona brand with roots in Arcadia and locations across the valley, Ingo’s Tasty Food delivers an all-day menu of scratch-made comfort food, coffee, and signature cocktails. Known for its welcoming atmosphere and high-quality ingredients, Ingo’s brings neighborhood energy and broad appeal to PHX.

Cactus & Cow Burger Bar: Created by acclaimed Arizona chef Mark Tarbell, the restaurant will deliver chef-driven burgers and bold Southwestern flavors in an approachable, fast-casual format. Known for its high-quality ingredients and playful take on classic American fare, the concept will bring a distinctly Arizona sensibility to the airport dining experience.

“Phoenix Sky Harbor is an important gateway to the Southwest, and this next chapter in Terminal 4 allows us to showcase the incredible culinary talent that defines the region,” said Senior Vice President of Development and Pursuit of New Airports Scott Welding. “These concepts reflect our commitment to partnering with local brands that tell a meaningful story, resonate with travelers, and create a sense of place. We’re proud to bring these Arizona favorites to one of the country’s busiest airports.”

These upcoming openings underscore SSP America’s long-term partnership with PHX and its focus on enhancing the passenger journey through food that is authentic, thoughtfully executed, and rooted in the community.
