PHILADELPHIA, PA — Aramark Sports + Entertainment has announced a major partnership with the Philadelphia Union that will see the company become the official provider of food, beverage, and retail services for Subaru Park and additional Union facilities. The partnership marks a significant expansion for Aramark’s presence in the Philadelphia sports scene, as it already services Citizens Bank Park, Lincoln Financial Field, and Wells Fargo Center.
Beginning on July 9, during the Union’s U.S. Open Cup Quarterfinal match against the New York Red Bulls, Aramark will manage concessions and premium spaces such as clubs and suites at Subaru Park. The integration of retail merchandise services is slated for 2026, enhancing the fan experience further. The agreement also extends to providing concessions, catering, and player and staff dining at the Union Power Plant and WSFS Bank Sportsplex, a new 32-acre sports and recreation complex in Chester, PA.
“Partnering with the Philadelphia Union at Subaru Park, Union Power Plant, and WSFS Bank Sportsplex represents an exciting expansion of the Aramark Sports + Entertainment portfolio right here in our hometown of Philadelphia,” said Alison Birdwell, President and CEO of Aramark Sports + Entertainment. “We are eager to elevate the Major League Soccer fan experience and showcase our commitment to delivering exceptional hospitality and unforgettable moments for the soccer community.”
Philadelphia Union President Tim McDermott welcomed Aramark as a valuable partner in advancing the club’s facilities and guest experiences. “We are proud to partner with Aramark, a leader in Philadelphia and professional sports globally, as our retail and food and beverage partner,” McDermott stated. “Their commitment to quality and fan experience align with our mission to deliver a first-class experience for every person who steps foot in Subaru Park, WSFS Bank Sportsplex, and Union Power Plant.”
The WSFS Bank Sportsplex, set to open on July 17, will serve as the hub for the Philadelphia Union Academy and host year-round community events. Aramark’s involvement will include managing concessions and catering operations at the state-of-the-art facility.
With this partnership, Aramark solidifies its position as a leader in the Philadelphia sports and entertainment sector, bringing its award-winning services to an even broader audience.
