More than 560m , a large terrace and the familiar taste of the American brand —
available to the more than 30,000 travelers who pass through the T2 every day

The opening of the outlet is part of an agreement between Areas and BURGER KING®
and has involved an investment of €3.2 million in four new establishments at Madrid and
Barcelona airports in recent months.
Barcelona, January 27, 2014.- Areas, the leading Spanish food & beverage and retail company, and
BURGER KING®, the second largest fast-food restaurant chain in the world, inaugurate the largest
food and beverage area at the Barcelona-El Prat T2 which can accommodate up to 250 guests at a
time.
With this opening, the T2 at El Prat expands its food and a beverage offer and introduces the burger

restaurant concept in this terminal for the first time. The outlet surface area covers about 560 m ,
almost 50 of them in the terrace. It is located in the check-in area between modules 2 and 3 and will
feature the new image which the American brand is implementing internationally in its new
establishments. The new restaurant required an investment of over €700,000 and employs 29 workers.
Million-euro Areas investment in the framework of an agreement with BURGER KING®
The opening of this new benchmark outlet at Barcelona-El Prat is part of an alliance signed by Areas
and BURGER KING® early last year, whereby both companies agreed to open outlets located primarily in
airports and motorway service plazas.
The opening of this restaurant in Barcelona — the ninth opened by the two companies together — joins
the list of other openings in the domestic airport market. The Madrid-Barajas airport, where Areas is
the top food and beverages operator, opened three BURGER KING® restaurants in recent weeks. The
effort has so far involved an investment of €2.5 million for Areas.
