On the evening of Saturday, April 19, Nathan’s, Quiznos, Shula’s Bar & Grill and Starbucks in the center of the main terminal at RSW will be permanently closed as part of the airport expansion project.

As part of the work for the Terminal Expansion Project Phase 1 at Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW), there will be changes to food and beverage concessions in the main terminal near the entrance of Concourse C.

The evening of Saturday, April 19, Nathan’s, Quiznos, Shula’s Bar & Grill and Starbucks in the center of the main terminal will be permanently closed.

For food and beverage options pre-security, the Dunkin’ locations in the hallways leading to Concourses B and D will remain open.

The Jose Cuervo Tequileria, in the central main terminal, will be open and serve packaged sandwiches and salads.

In addition, retail shops in the central main terminal will remain open and Coastal News will offer more grab & go options, plus snack, candy and bottled beverages. There is also a Grab & Go Concession Kiosk in Bag Claim near Door 2.

Travelers will still have food and beverage available post-security on all concourses, including fast food, sit-down restaurants, bars and grab & go options.

The Lee County Port Authority will continue to post updates on the airport’s website and Facebook to help travelers and airport users become aware of changes due to construction.

  • Ken Ludwig has built a career as a decorated comedic playwright. He’s had six shows on Broadway and eight on London’s West End. The New York Times called his first Broadway play, “Lend Me a Tenor,” one of the two great farces by a living writer. Based on his parents' courtship during World War II, "Dear Jack, Dear Louise" is the closest Ludwig has come to writing a straight, non-comedic play.
  • Spring is a busy time for both birds and humans. The cycle of life begins anew for both. Birds begin nest-building, then lay eggs in their nest, and tend to hatchlings; humans plant gardens, flowers, and begin the annual routine of yard care. When young birds leave the nest, their parents still must tend to the young – either providing them with food or leading them to good foraging areas and protecting them from potential predators. To birds, humans are potential predators. Birds scold, dive at, and sometimes even strike humans that come close to their nest or young. Such attacks can be indication that a nest or young is near – and attacks are a good cue to not prune a nest tree or shrub or to not mow over a ground nest. Attacks are also an opportunity to show youngsters the adults, their nest, eggs, and young… but from a distance.
