With the opening of the new $1.5 billion terminal at Pittsburgh International Airport next year travelers also will be greeted with 15 new restaurants and stores, including a Shake Shack.

The new concessions were selected based on input from travelers passing through the airport. They include a mix of local, national and global brands, according to Blue Sky News, the airport’s news service.

“More shopping and dining choices have been a top request from our travelers, and we are excited to introduce 15 new concessions that complement the construction of our new terminal and airside renovations,” Bryan Dietz, senior vice president of Air Service and Commercial Development at PIT, said in a statement Tuesday.

Topping the list is Shake Shack, a global burger chain that in May opened its first location in the Pittsburgh area at The Terminal in the Strip District.

The Wexford-based coffee and tea house Café Conmigo will have a location at the airport, as well as national brands Jimmy John’s sandwich shop, Sambazon Acai, the hip breakfast restaurant Bad Egg, modern deli Stack +Press Delicatessen, Mexican restaurant Mi Casa Cantina and Camden Food Market.

These new options will join Beercode Bar & Kitchen, which just opened in June in the Airside Center Core near Concourse C.

Among new stores will be Champion City Sports, which goes beyond just sports with collaborations with Build-a-Bear and Vera Bradley. It also will offer a Sports Simulator for customers to play.

Other retailers will include MAC Cosmetics and Duquesne & Co, a gifting/accessories concept focusing on local artisans.

Stores already at PIT will get some major upgrades and expansions, including Johnston & Murphy and InMotion. InMotion also will be opening an additional larger store that will focus on Apple products.

Most of the new concessions will be located in the Airside Terminal, where all the gates are located. Some also will be in the new terminal.

More details will be announced in coming months. An opening date for the new terminal has not been announced.
