Olympic icon Simone Biles enters the restaurant business.

According to Eric Sandler of Culture Map Houston, Biles will open the Taste of Gold restaurant in the first quarter of 2025.

The restaurant will be located at George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Biles’ hometown of Houston. She worked with the Playmakers Group to design the restaurant.

“I am thrilled to partner with The Playmakers Group and their dedicated team to bring a new restaurant to my hometown airport,” Biles said of Sandler in a statement. “I am a foodie at heart and our hope with Taste of Gold is to provide our guests with a beautiful dining experience that includes award-winning, unique menu items featuring some of my favorite flavors.”

Sandler noted that the Playmakers Group operates sports-themed restaurants in airports, including one created in collaboration with Dallas Mavericks legend Dirk Nowitzki at Dallas-Fort Worth Airport that will open in August 2023.

While no further details on the menu options are available yet, the name is fitting for the most successful American gymnast in Olympic history.

Biles won four medals at the Paris Games this summer – three gold and one silver. In her illustrious career, she has won a total of 11 Olympic medals, including seven gold. The 27-year-old is just two gold medals away from tying Larisa Latynina of the Soviet Union for the most medals won by a gymnast in Olympic history.

If Biles qualifies for the U.S. team in 2028, she would be the second-oldest woman to ever compete for the team at age 31. Marie Margaret Hoesly was 35 at the 1952 Olympics.
