Despite 91大黄鸭 International Airport renovating the kitchen that serves both White Spot restaurants at YLW over the next two months, travellers passing through the terminal won鈥檛 go hungry.
That鈥檚 because the restaurant has brought in one of its mobile food trucks to provide a limited menu during the renovations.
鈥淭he state-of-the-art kitchen renovations at White Spot will greatly improve capacity and speed of service,鈥� said Sam Samaddar, airport director in a news release. 鈥淭his renovation is part of a partnership with Skyway Group to improve service delivery to our customers.鈥�
On Thursday, airport and White Spot officials gathered outside with a representative of the Vancouver Canucks Autism Network and announced that for the next few days, $2 from the sale of every White Spot hamburger will go to help the network.
While the kitchen renovations are underway, most of the seats in the White Spot location in the departures lounge will be closed. The patio area, however will be remain open. The restaurants operation in the public part of the terminal will, however, remain fully open. The renovations will not impact service at Subway or Tim Horton鈥檚 locations at YLW.
During the renovations, a Triple O鈥檚 food truck, donated by the White Spot Restaurant Company based in Vancouver, will be on site serving a limited hot food menu.
鈥淭his was a novel solution to continue providing food service to our valued guests,鈥� said Warren Erhart, CEO of White Spot. 鈥淲ith the Triple O鈥檚 food truck, both White Spot locations in departures and pre-security will still be able to have food served by our friendly staff. After all, no one wants to sit through a flight next to someone who鈥檚 hungry.鈥�
Between the two White Spot locations at the airport, there are 250 seats at YLW, double what there was when the first post-security White Spot location a year ago, said Phillip Elchitz, senior manager of airport operations at YLW.
The airport has seen steady growth over the years and now handles 1.9 million passengers a year. It is the 11th busiest airport in the country.
