Lulu’s food will be part of G.S. Airport Terminal expansion

Following the successful launch of Allegiant airline service on May 21, Gulf Shores International Airport Authority has begun exploring the potential expansion of the terminal with the understanding that airlines make future scheduling decisions months in advance.
As part of this planning effort, the Authority has entered a contract with Vasey Aviation Group to evaluate a design for terminal enhancements. If pursued, the improvements would include expanding the gate area, increasing curbside space, and enlarging baggage claim facilities. A final decision on whether to move forward with any construction, including how any expansion would be funded, is expected later this Fall.
“Residents and visitors expect convenient travel and low fares, and we intend to make that integral to any terminal concepts,” said Jesse Fosnaugh, airport director.
In addition, the Airport Authority has approved LuLu’s as the first official food and beverage provider for the airport terminal. Known for its vibrant, family-friendly atmosphere and coastal cuisine, LuLu’s will provide a warm Gulf Shores sendoff to every traveler through expanded dining services and retail offerings beyond security screening. The LuLu’s kiosk in the terminal will offer a variety of products including food, beverages, snacks, and souvenirs, enhancing the passenger experience in the terminal while you wait to board your plane. LuLu’s is targeting a soft opening in late July, just in time to serve passengers during the busy summer travel season.
