Kentucky International Convention Center plans new dining concept for 2014

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (Dec. 27, 2013) — Responding to trends in the meeting and event market, the Kentucky International Convention Center, in partnership with its exclusive hospitality partner, Centerplate, will be introducing a new flexible quick-serve restaurant in 2014 with free Wi-Fi, healthier options and faster speed of service, to cater to convention guests during peak convention times.

ā€œMeeting planners and guests are looking for fast, flexible concepts and healthier options,ā€ said Linda Edwards, vice president of sales of the Kentucky State Fair Board.

The new ā€œgrab-and-goā€ restaurant will replace the current Wolfgang Puck Express, which will close at the end of the year for the conversion. When the new restaurant re-opens in early 2014, convention guests will have the option of a quick-serve breakfast alternative, as well as an updated lunch menu with salads, sandwiches, and pizza by-the-slice. The space will also be made available as an additional event space for functions and private parties.

The Kentucky International Convention Center offers 300,000 feet of space and hosts a wide variety of events. More than 300,000 visitors attend conventions, trade shows and meetings annually at downtown Louisville’s largest meeting space.
