Case Studies

Taste, Inc. dba Vino Volo
www.vinovolo.com

Overview: Taste, Inc. Founder and CEO Doug Tomlinson hired AC to provide airport intelligence and a strategic analysis of certain aspects of the airport retail market. AC provided introductions and guidance for Taste to meet airport owners and their agents, make presentations and offer proposals. Work also included additional analysis of particular aspects of the airport market to facilitate negotiations and augment the leasing strategy.

Client Need: To strategically understand the vagaries of leasing airport retail space, win significant commitment to the Taste brand, and secure suitable multiple airport locations.

Results: In September 2005 Taste opened its first airport store at Dulles International Airport. AC assisted Vino Volo to secure it's initial five-store footprint.

"Airport Consulting, Inc. was instrumental in working with us to select and pursue the best possible leasing opportunities in the airport concessions world. As a direct result of AC's knowledge of the airport retail industry, we have introduced our innovative concept to key airport management leaders at multiple airports, leading to our first store opening at Dulles International Airport in the fall of 2005, and a strong pipeline of new store opportunities at other airports."
