SSP Group flies to Italy’s Rome Termini Station

This is the 37th market the group has entered.

Food and beverage operator SSP Group has entered its 37th market as it partners with Italian rail station operator, Grandi Stationi to open LEON, YO!, EXKi and Granaio at Rome Termini Station.

LEON serves ‘fast food but good food’, with a menu including wraps, rice boxes and burgers, inspired by Mediterranean cuisine. This opening marks the brand’s debut in Italy. YO! will offer travellers ‘fresh, flavoursome, authentic Japanese food’, bringing their famous hand-rolled sushi, classic hot bowls, street food & innovative fusion dishes to Rome.

Meanwhile, Italian casual dining concept, Granaio will serve classic Italian dishes with premium seating options for sit-down dining.

For guests seeking healthy, gourmet dishes made with fresh and seasonal produce, EXKi will offer high-quality and sustainable choices, freshly prepared each day. The menu includes hot dishes, soups and sandwiches based on seasonal ingredients.

“We’re delighted to announce our entry into the Italian market and are certain that LEON, YO!, Granaio and EXKi will prove highly popular with travellers at Rome Termini Station. At SSP, we have a strong track record in bringing great brands to travel locations and making them relevant to the local market. We’re certain this is the start of a very fruitful business venture as we take our first steps in this important European market. A huge thank you to all the teams who worked to bring this project to life and we’re so pleased to be welcoming our Italian colleagues to the SSP family,” Jeremy Fennell, CEO of Continental Europe & Nordics at SSP, said.

All four outlets will begin operating in October 2023.
