Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport is known for its award-winning dining options and local stores in its busiest terminal, Terminal 4. Now, Terminal 3 will also be getting some new and delicious dining options as well as exciting shopping choices. With the modernization of Terminal 3, America’s Friendliest Airport® will add local dining options as well as exclusive retail stores. At a recent Phoenix City Council meeting, the recommended proposals by Host International Inc. and SSP America Inc. were approved for food and beverage contracts, and the proposals by HG PHX T3 Retailers 2017 JV (Hudson) and Stellar Retail Group PHX, LLC were approved for new retail options.
“Sky Harbor is the city’s largest and most important economic engine — and it’s a point of pride to showcase some of our best local concepts to the millions of travelers who pass through every year,” said Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton. “The ongoing modernization of Terminal 3 will only boost the world-class experience for passengers at Sky Harbor.”
Construction will begin in the coming months with many new stores and restaurants opening at the same time as the new South Concourse, and the remaining opening in 2020 when renovations to the North Concourse are complete.

The final phase, which is expected to be completed in 2020, will include a renovated north concourse with new shops and restaurants. For more information, please visit skyharbor.com/terminalmodernization
