Simone Biles’ profile outside of gymnastics due to her success in the Olympics is only increasing, as she plans to open a restaurant at Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport next year.
Bush is one of the two major airports in the Houston area, and one of the busiest in the United States.
Biles first foray into the hospitality industry will be a restaurant called ‘Taste of Gold’ and comes partnering with The Playmakers Group.
The restaurant plans to ‘celebrate Biles’ remarkable achievements and will feature signature food and beverage items curated by restaurant industry innovator Mark Brezinski,’ per the Houston Airports System.
The restaurant will be located inside Bush’s A terminal and has an opening date in the first three months of 2025.
