In a release sent this afternoon, Colectivo announced that, as of today, its coffee will no longer be served at General Mitchell International Airport.
Until today, three Colectivo kiosks at the airport were operated and managed under a licensing agreement with SSP America. Colectivo chose to end its agreement with SSP, which has operated all three locations at Mitchell since 2009.
"We are disappointed we will no longer have the opportunity to serve travelers at Mitchell Field," says Scott Schwebel, VP Brand, Marketing, Retail for Colectivo. "Unfortunately, we could never consistently achieve the level of overall brand experience we demanded under SSP operations."
Update: Valentine Coffee will be served at all former Colectivo kiosks at the airport. Read more.
