Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, located in Texas, US, is planning to upgrade the experience it gives to consumers in Terminal D.
The terminal, which sees more than 7 million travelers come through its doors each year, will introduce new duty-free stores including a total of six shopping locations covering nearly 20,000sqft. The airport has selected TRG Duty Free Joint Venture to design and run the stores.
As part of the overhaul, TRG will open a two-level 13,000sqft primary store changing the landscape of the central area of the terminal. TRG's duty-free shops will feature brands such as Ferragamo, Gucci, Dior, Chanel, Lancôme and Burberry. The shops will sell a variety of goods including cosmetics and fragrance. Uniquely, a sculpture by Surls will suspend over the central store to give shoppers 'a true Texas welcome', while there will also be a revamped executive lounge, smaller specialty stores and kiosks.
"When looking for a duty-free retailer, we asked for a blend of international couture, state-of-the-art technology, luxurious services – all while capturing the spirit and beauty of Texas," said Ken Buchanan, Executive Vice President of Revenue Management. "TRG's winning proposal delivered with a concept that we know will surprise and delight our passengers. We're excited to know their vision will soon come to life in Terminal D."
