SINGAPORE, 30 October 2023 - Jones the Grocer has opened at Changi Airport Terminal 2 and is the first-ever duplex concession in the public area of the airport’s terminals. The artisan café, bakery, patisserie, deli and cheese monger has partnered with SSP Group, a leading operator of food and beverage outlets in travel locations worldwide, and Changi Airport Group (CAG), operator of Singapore Changi Airport, to deliver a gourmet dining and bar experience.
The first Jones the Grocer opened its doors in Sydney in 1996 and there are now over 32 stores across the Middle East and Asia.
Comprising over 6,600 square feet on two levels in the Singapore Airlines check-in zone in Changi Airport’s beautifully revamped Terminal 2, the establishment boasts a sophisticated and inviting atmosphere, designed to provide travellers with a comfortable and memorable dining experience – the perfect setting for a gourmet escape amidst the bustling airport environment.
The ground level of Jones the Grocer features a delicious selection of grab-and-go delights.
Jones the Grocer’s ground level, which is now open, showcases a quick-serve artisan food offer. Expert baristas pour Jones’ famous flat whites and offer a selection of teas, smoothies and shakes to travellers. Customers will also be able to choose from delicious pastries, savoury pies, gourmet sandwiches, cheese toasties, freshly tossed salads as well as a selection of Jones the Grocer’s grab-and-go retail at the deli-style food counter.
The upper level of Jones the Grocer, which aims to delight diners with its island bar and show kitchen, is slated to open later this year.
The level above, which is set to open later this year, will feature expert chefs who will cook Jones the Grocer’s modern, globally influenced food for breakfast, lunch and dinner in a show kitchen, enabling travellers to see their food prepared in front of them. At the island bar presenting sweeping views of the stunning revamped terminal, bar staff will serve handcrafted cocktails and small bites. An Italian pizza oven will treat diners to hand-thrown pizzas. There will also be a specially created ‘retail and coffee zone’ that will feature interactive digital screens and hand-picked gourmet retail options.
Jones the Grocer’s commitment to delivering memorable culinary experiences aligns well with CAG’s commitment to bringing a touch of magic to the traveller journey and SSP Group’s dedication to providing exceptional dining options at the world's busiest airports.
