(Chris Samuels | The Salt Lake Tribune) Squatters Pub Brewery in Salt Lake City, Tuesday, June 27, 2023.Įach store at Salt Lake City International has a comparable location or multiple spots outside the airport that officials use to reference pricing. That success, he said, stemmed from travelers - especially locals - getting used to the idea that they could dine at the airport or pick up headphones for a price similar to a shop downtown. Wyatt said he brought street pricing to Salt Lake City because he saw it work at Oregon’s Portland International Airport, which he previously oversaw as the Port of Portland’s executive director.
Sometimes, though, the airport rate was actually cheaper. In a few instances, airport prices were moderately higher than comparable locations in the community. In most cases, concessionaires appear to be complying.
“That’s clearly proved to be the case here.”Īccording to an airport shopping excursion of sorts by The Salt Lake Tribune, the pricing policy seems to be working. “When people get the notion that they’re not being gouged, or they’re not paying significantly more for something than they might otherwise be, they’ll buy it,” airport Executive Director Bill Wyatt said. To save travelers from sticker shock, the sparkling new multibillion-dollar airport instituted a policy to bar vendors from charging more than they do out on the street.
