​SSP Group opens new O’Learys sports bar at Singapore Changi Airport

The Asia Pacific division of SSP Group, a leading operator of food and beverage brands in travel locations worldwide, has opened a new O’Learys outlet at Singapore Changi Airport. This latest opening is the result of the agreement of a three year £4.2 million contract earlier this year.

The 225 meter square restaurant will seat 110 diners, and will be open around the clock.

The popular Swedish casual dine-in concept will take the number of outlets SSP operates at the Airport to seven.

Chris Rayner, CEO of SSP Asia Pacific, commented: “We are delighted to be continuing our close working relationship with Singapore Changi Airport and to bring this excellent concept to passengers. Our focus is on providing exceptional food in an environment where passengers feel welcomed and can relax before their flight, and O’Learys offers exactly that.”

Wilhelm Vintilescu, CEO of O’Learys Trademark, is very positive about the opening: “O’Learys is Your Second Living Room – making people feel at home however far away from home they are. SSP is very professional about managing this strength in the concept for travellers to enjoy their stay at the airport.”

O’Learys is one of Sweden’s best-known brands and there are currently more than 100 restaurants around the world. Inspired by different cuisines, the menu includes Boston classic burgers, tender steaks from the grill, pastas and O’Learys’ speciality baby back ribs and chicken wings.

SSP Asia Pacific has operated the O’Leary’s brand at the Airport’s Terminal 2 since 2007. The company is franchisee of 18 O'Learys restaurants at airports in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Spain, Abu Dhabi, China and Singapore.
