Garbanzo Mediterranean Grill opens today on Concourse D at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. Owned and operated by Delaware North Companies Travel Hospitality Services, the Atlanta airport restaurant is the nation's first airport-based Garbanzo and a new healthy dining option for travelers, according to a company press release.

As part of its preferred partnership agreement with Garbanzo, this is the first of numerous restaurants Delaware North Companies Travel Hospitality Services plans to open. The new restaurant is the Mediterranean concept's 25th location and the seventh franchise store to open to date.

"Opening in the world's busiest airport provides an excellent opportunity for further exposure to domestic and international guests who may not have a Garbanzo in their hometown or city," said Bob Bafundo, Garbanzo vice president of company and franchise operations. "Delaware North Companies' portfolio of successes speaks for itself, and we are very pleased to be working in conjunction with them to create more Garbanzo enthusiasts throughout the world."

Along with the usual Garbanzo menu, the airport location will provide grab-and-go items, including cold chicken laffa, Greek salad and a hummus snack tray. The Hartsfield-Jackson International Garbanzo will also be the concept's first location to utilize electronic menu boards.
