Four major art projects for new KCI terminal revealed

[srvy]

My wife is working part time as bartender-server with OHM. Ohm manages the leases in the new airport. So far it doesn't look so good for the bars and restaurants. She said the busiest area is the KC Market. I suppose a 5-dollar 2 oz bag of Doritos is a better price for the traveler than real food and drink. Many employees walked in the first few days. She worked at Martin City Brewing on the first opening night. They had about 30 minutes of being a little busy and twiddled their thumbs waiting. She has moved around since where the need arises. Boulevard Brewing has carried a little more traffic. I asked here what a drink costs at Martin City 17.00 bucks for an old-fashioned with house whiskey.

That airport isn't going to pay for itself your food in KC is going to go up in taxes. Ill just eat out in Liberty or Gladstone its just a hop skip and jump from my KCMO homestead.

Sorry man. Are you laboring under the idea that the bars and restaurants are geared toward people like you who live nearby in Kansas City? What does you grabbing food in Gladstone or Liberty have to do with anything.

Do you think they expect their business to be made up of Kansas Citians going to the airport for the sole purpose of eating. Is that a thing?

What is happening right now.

Yeah, I was surprised they'd have so many restaurants. The old airport had zilch but there's no way a dozen restaurants can stay open with such low airport traffic.

I’m really not quite sure what point you are making. For one, every airport I’ve been has times of having no business throughout the day. Secondly, I’m pretty certain they didn’t build the airport with the idea of attracting locals and instead are planning on having more flights and layovers. If you aren’t happy with the prices that’s just the way airports are. No surprises here.

JFC, do they have a duty free shop where you can buy an entire bottle for the cost of a couple drinks?

I don't know lol but just be forewarned that old-fashioned was at Martin City Brewing but I suspect it's the going rate at other locations. Many of the bars and restaurants are still waiting on menus to be printed since it opened almost a month early. The wait staff has no idea of the menu or beer styles yet. They are told to tell the customers to download an app for descriptions. Employee training was fast tracked so they could open earlier. The data collectors the servers carry were not yet there as they were still being programmed and didn't arrive till opening. These little things don't seem like much but it explains the big things like traffic flow. Hell I took my wife to her training on Monday before the opening. They were still hanging signs and striping at entrances and exits through bus and baggage lanes. I think they just jumped the gun and should have opened on the expected date.
