This World Entrepreneurs’ Day, we’re celebrating one of SSP America’s newest joint venture partners: Jimmy McMikle, MBA at Bradley International Airport (BDL)! Born and raised in Hartford, Jimmy has spent his career building connections and finding solutions. His path to hospitality began during the pandemic, when his consulting work with area restaurants and the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development sparked a PASSION for the industry. Now, he’s bringing that energy to BDL with brands like Tap & Pour, D'Angelo Grilled Sandwiches, Charter House Kitchen & Bar, and more. What excites Jimmy most about working with SSP America? “The knowledge is there, the experience is there, and the roadmap for success is clear. I’m never in the dark, and I’ve been able to connect with leaders at the highest level right from the start.” Like SSP America, Jimmy is PASSIONate about bringing a taste of place to the airport dining scene and representing the Northeast’s rich cultural mix where, as he puts it, “you can get anything, anytime.” Welcome aboard, Jimmy—we can’t wait to see the impact you’ll make at BDL!
