Space created for a new fashion store
Bahrain Duty Free has made a number of changes to its retail offering in the departures area of Bahrain International airport.
It has relocated its book store, toys and electronics outlets to a “new strong footfall location” in a bid to increase penetration.
This move has also created around 420sq m of retail space for a new fashion area, which is due to open in September.
The area will be home to a number of brands including Lacoste, Hackett, Vilebrequin, Ralph Lauren, Porsche Design, Tumi, Fendi, ST Dupont, Furla, Longchamp, and Lanvin, in addition to other brands that are still under negotiations. It will also be home to a new sunglass store catering for all brands; including some brands currently not listed.
Bahrain Duty Free general manager Fadi Allam said: “We are extremely excited about these initiatives which we believe will offer our customers new brands with the great service that Bahrain Duty Free is renowned for.”
