SSP in deal with Montreux Jazz Cafe
SSP and the Montreux Experience SA have agreed an exclusive ten-year deal to open around ten Montreux Jazz Cafés at travel locations across the world. SSP ceo Andrew Lynch said: “The Jazz Café
has proven ideally suited to the travel market. Its great menu served in an exciting and entertaining environment makes it the perfect place to spend time before a flight.” Montreux Jazz Festival founder Claude Nobs believes that SSP is the best choice of partner for this venture. “The reputation of our brand is of crucial importance to us …. SSP has demonstrated it can present our brand in a way that enhances that reputation, bringing the thrill of the Festival to a wider audience.” The first Café opened at Geneva airport
in 2008. During the Montreux Jazz Festival, travellers visiting the Café are able to watch concerts just a few days after they have taken place at the Stravinski Auditorium or the Miles Davis Hall. The Café also hosts live music events throughout the year. The Café at Geneva serves a casual dining menu developed in partnership with leading Swiss chef Gilles Dupont. In May 2010, the first Australian Montreux
Jazz Café opened at Sydney Airport. It follows the same formula as the original outlet in Geneva, offering a menu specially developed to appeal to the local market. The Montreux Jazz Café will be making
another appearance in Switzerland, at the newly refurbished Pier B of Zurich Airport. The new Café will officially open on November 22 this year.
