Greystone Management Solutions, a division of Greystone & Co. Inc., announced it has been selected as the consultant to develop and implement a retail concessions program for the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA).
MARTA has selected Greystone to help the agency manage the expansion of its concessions program. As of July 2014, Greystone will utilize its experience and knowledge of best practices to assist MARTA with site selection and product mix to develop a request for bids to attract leading public transit retailers to participate in MARTA’s new program.
“We are pleased to be working with MARTA to help introduce a concessions program that will capture new non-farebox revenue for the agency and improve passenger amenities for MARTA’s customers,” said Charles Di Maggio, chief operating officer of Greystone Management Solutions. “We are very appreciative of the agency’s trust to partner with Greystone on this exciting opportunity. Throughout the public transit industry, we are seeing more and more public agencies retain the expertise of the private sector to help manage their real estate, maximize non fare box revenue, and optimize their real estate portfolios, all while improving the station environments for customers. We look forward to sharing our best practices and experience providing asset management services to MARTA’s sister agencies,” he added.
