Since
1989, RMD has provided “airport concession acquisition and proposal
development” assistance to such major companies as McDonald’s,
Burger King, Wendy’s, Subway, and Quizno’s. Our
Airport Briefing Package provides a detailed
analysis and business model for investors who want
to acquire or expand their airport concession
business. We provide our clients
with the financial and operational management insight they need to
plan and execute sound acquisition or development strategies. The best concession concept in the food
service or retail industry will fail if it is located in an airport
with a poorly administered and structured concession program. The
configuration of each concourse or terminal, passenger-profile,
merchandising, point-of-sale structure, concession concept mix, and
the FAA’s approval of landing privileges are all major elements in
the success or failure of an airport concession. Most concession
rights are granted based upon a seven-to-ten-year lease with initial
capital investments of $300,000 to $500,000. Investing in the best concession
program is critical to the long-term success of each concessionaire.
There are only
two ways one can become
a "concessionaire" in an airport: 1.) Submitting a concession
managing proposal to an airport authority and being selected as the
wining proposal. and 2.) Acquiring an existing ongoing airport
concession lease via the purchase of a concession (leasing rights,
equipment and business assets) from the current owner of an airport
concession. The process of determining the "cost of developing
a concession" compared to an "acquisition of a concession" is one of
the first critical analyses one must complete as they start the
process of becoming an airport concessionaire.
RMD
Financial Corporation’s airport concession proposal development and
packaging services includes; an in-depth “concession
program analysis” of each
airport; creation and
implementation of an “airport concession
rollout strategy; and the design of an airport specific décor and
menu plan; which will make you concession stand-out in the crowd and
win. The most critical stage in the concession development
(new concession) process is the selection of each airport and
concourse, based upon the “customer profile” of each firm. For
example; you would not want to develop a
“Mont Blanc”
store in a Southwest Airlines terminal. Simply stated, the key to
success as an international airport concessionaire is research and
preparation. Each new airport concession investor must fully
understand the economic and financial dynamics of each airport’s
concession program. The quality and scope of an airport’s
concession program can determine the success or failure of a
concession concept. Many airport concession managers “lease too
much concession space” considering the passenger traffic history of
their airport. The process of securing a new airport concession
could take from one to four months.
There
are only two ways to become an airport concessionaire; you either
acquire (buyout) an existing concession or become the “selected
vender” in an open “Request for Proposals Process.” Both the buyout
and RFP process require the approval of each airport’s property
office. RMD’s concession buyout (acquisition) services include an
in-depth “concession
program analysis” of selected airports. In fact, we are
the only firm which “ranks
the top 30 US airports” based upon the performance of
their concession programs. Since September 11, 2001, the issue of
“pre or post security” concession locations has become a major
consideration for concessionaires. The
process of acquiring an
airport concession could take from 4 to 8 months.
Airport concessionaires decide to
sell
their “concession” for a range of reasons. These include retirement, divorce,
death, termination of a partnership, failure of a concession concept
and others. RMD is the industry leader in the
marketing of airport
concessions. With 35 concession locations, in
16 major airports
we set the
standard for the buyout and re-sale of airport concessions. We have
the resources, and experience to establish the “market value” of
each principal’s ownership interest in business assets and lease
rights in their international airport concessions. The
market value of each concession depends upon
whether it is a retail, service or food concept, the
term of the lease and several other factors.
Business valuation methods
fall into 13 major categories, depending on where
the major focus of the analysis is centered. concession which is
designated a Disadvantage Business Enterprise (dbe) location has a
lower value compared to a non-designated location. The value of a
concession is also impacted by the term, and structure of the
concession agreement; as well as other factors. The process of
selling an airport concession is complex and could take from 4 to 8
months.
