EP. 5 - Andy Weddig - Executive Director of the Airport Restaurant and Retail Association

 Andy Weddig entered airports from commercial real estate just as airport concessions programs were beginning to resemble the malls where he previously worked. He started out helping manage programs at airports like O’Hare International and Midway in Chicago. More recently, he’s expressed concern on the operator side as costs and rents have increased significantly in ways that make it harder for both side to get what they need.
