Shula’s Steakhouse expands presence with second airport location

FT. MYERS, Fla.— HMSHost, a world leader in travel dining and shopping, and the Shula Family today celebrated the grand opening of Shula’s Bar&Grill at Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW). The new Shula’s Bar&Grill location is a joint venture partnership between PJLF Enterprises and HMSHost.

“We’re glad that the new Shula’s Bar&Grill joins our roster of restaurants,” said Robert M. Ball, Executive Director of Southwest Florida International Airport. “With its pre-security location, visitors and travelers alike can enjoy Shula’s flavorful steaks and extensive menu.”

“We are excited about growing our presence in the Fort Myers’ area with Shula’s Bar&Grill at Southwest Florida International Airport,” said David Shula, President of Shula’s Steak Houses. “The success we’ve had in Naples over the last 11 years has made it a natural for us to expand.”

Travelers can choose from enticing meals of Filet Mignon or a New York Strip steak and signature appetizers of blackened tenderloin tips and crab cakes. Shula’s drink menu includes premium wines from California, Italy, Chile and New Zealand, and a Pomegranate martini offered in a comfortable and relaxed setting.

This is the second location for Shula’s Bar&Grill at an airport. The first Shula’s Bar&Grill located in an airport opened with HMSHost in May 2011 at Miami International Airport.

“Working with the Shula family to expand their restaurant business is a pleasure,” said Renee Tedesco, Vice President of Business Development, HMSHost. “We know travelers appreciate a great meal while they’re on the road and now, visitors to Southwest Florida International Airport will be able to enjoy the Shula’s experience of signature steaks and one of their delectable cocktails.”

Shula’s Bar&Grill is located in the pre-security area of the RSW’s main terminal.
