The Merchants of the Quarter are determined through the Cutting EDGE! (Excellence Drives Great Experiences) Program, which is in place to motivate and reward merchants throughout the year.

Smashburger, with additional locations in the B/C Connector and Concourse F, offers a selection of burgers — chicken, turkey or black bean varieties — salads, signature sides and hand-spun milkshakes. Not only does Smashburger serve mouth-watering burgers and on-the-go eats, but the Smashburger brand exemplifies the highest-quality ingredients, an exceptional “smashing” culinary technique, modern-inspired curated recipes and a menu variety that passengers of all ages find delicious.
