Spain: Autogrill to provide services on the A7 until 2019

Milano , 23 February 2001 - Autogrill Spain has obtained a 20-year extension (until 2019) of its concession for all service areas on the A7, the motorway linking France with Spain’s Mediterranean coastline (approximately 300 kilometres from Tarragona to Alicante). The licence covers modernisation and extensions to the 12 existing service areas, based on a broad range of products and services that have already been tested in Spain and the rest of Europe. Priority will be given to the Autogrill multibrand model, in which different restaurant services (Ciao, Spizzico and Acafè) are provided in the same location. The planned outlay of 35 million euro will also be used to finance construction of two latest-generation service areas in the Valencia area.
