CLEVELAND, November 17, 2010 – Authentic, fresh gelato based on fourth-generation Italian recipes is now available to travelers at the AIRMALL® at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE). AIRMALL USA, the leading airport concessions developer in North America and operator of the AIRMALL at CLE, is pleased to announce the recent opening of Paciugo Gelato & Caffé (300 sq. ft.).
