ARI (North America) has been awarded the Best Canadian Airport Duty Free Company title at the Frontier Duty Free Association’s Gold Standards Awards 2016.

Commenting at length on the honour, Seamus Holmes, the General Manager of ARINA said: “Winning this prestigious award is a great coup for ARI and wouldn’t have been possible without the hard work, positive attitude and commitment of our entire team.

“It’s also great to get such a positive endorsement from our industry peers for our ambition to transform the customer experience at The Loop Duty Free, Montreal, Winnipeg and Halifax.”

 

 

 

 

He continued: “We’ve invested significantly in our flagship Montreal store by building a new jetty store, as well as extending our main international departures area by 330sqm to accommodate a number of new fashion brands.

 

 

 

 

“The new fashion store has greatly enhanced our luxury offering through the introduction and expansion of brands such as Victoria’s Secret, Desigual, Longchamp, Tumi, Lacoste and Pandora.

 

 

 

 

“These investments, coupled with our recent organisational restructure has helped us set a new benchmark for retail excellence across all our locations in Canada that really encapsulates the ARI vision to deliver the best shopping experience for our customers.”
