Wolfgang Puck restaurant may be coming to Punta Gorda Airport

The Punta Gorda Airport is “in discussions” with Wolfgang Puck about developing a Wolfgang Puck Kitchen + Bar inside the facility, a spokesperson for the airport says.

The restaurant could seat 112 people, based on a concept design presented to the Charlotte County Airport Authority in early August. Seating would include booths, counter space and tables. There would also be a grab-and-go cooler where people could purchase items in a retail area.

Spanning more than 3,500 square feet, the eatery would include nearly 1,100 square feet that is public-facing, while 2,500 would be dedicated to back-of-the-house operations.
