Enhancing the experience of visitors to stadiums, arenas and convention centers
A partner of the Tour de France for over 30 years, the French open for 36 years, the prestigious Royal Ascot meeting in the United Kingdom and 15 Super Bowl in the United States, Sodexo Live! is a major player in the global sporting events market. Its growth ambitions have also been achieved in recent years thanks to the trust placed in it by a number of new clients and the renewal of long-standing contracts.
In the United States, which represents around 60% of its revenue, Sodexo Live! was selected by the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells to provide food services and became the exclusive supplier for the new Titans Nissan Stadium in Nashville. In 2024, Formula 1 fans were again able to select from an incredible variety of menus celebrating local culinary culture and minorities at the Miami Grand Prix organized around Hard Rock Stadium run by the company. Leader in convention center food service in North America, Sodexo Live! also continues to develop in this market by catering to visitors to the San Diego Convention Center and to the CES at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
At the same time, in France, the Maison du Handball, the Centre National du Football of Clairefontaine and the Centre National du Rugby, along with Nottingham Forest Football Club in the UK, have chosen to place or renew their trust in Sodexo Live! to provide Food and Hospitality services at their sites.
Proven know-how for exceptional venues and cultural destination
Sodexo Live! creates a personalized offering for each of its clients that reflects each site’s core business to raise its profile and ensure its performance.
In Paris, the Musée National de la Marine, which reopened in late 2023, enlisted Sodexo Live! to market its event activities with areas that offer an exceptional view of the Trocadéro gardens and the Eiffel Tower, an iconic monument where the Sodexo Live! teams also apply their culinary expertise. At the helm of “Madame Brasserie”, Chef Thierry Marx offers healthy, creative cuisine, while on the top floor, Chef Frédéric Anton shows off his talent at Le Jules Verne restaurant, where in 2024 he garnered his second Michelin star, a recognition that adds to the list of awards of this legendary Sodexo Live! chef. He is also the head chef at 3-star restaurant Le Pré Catelan, where Lenôtre’s contract was renewed for 18 years, and at Don Juan II, the only Michelin-star cruise boat in Paris.
Around the world, the service-orientated approach and the culinary and event expertise of the Sodexo Live! teams continue to appeal to clients and consumers, as illustrated by the renewed trust of the Royal Botanic Garden in Edinburgh, Scotland for an additional five years. In the United States, millions of visitors at leading cultural institutions enjoy Sodexo Live! services, such as the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC and the iconic Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles.
