History

The company's origins are in the Van Noy Railway News and Hotel Company founded in 1897 by the Van Noy Brothers of Kansas City, Missouri.
On January 2, 1996, Host Marriott Services Corporation was created when Host Marriott Corporation divided into two separate companies. Host Marriott continued to own lodging real estate. Host Marriott Services Corporation held and operates concessions at airports, on toll roads and at sports and entertainment attractions.
Along the way, the company grew through its many acquisitions. It found itself with airport contracts in 18 of the 20 largest airports in the United States. Other assets included one of the largest collections of franchises including:

★ Pizza Hut

★ Burger King

★ Sbarro

★ Starbucks
Note: HMSC was a francisee, and not the owner of the above francises
Autogrill S.p.A. acquired the company in 1999.
