CDFG has partnered with various collaborators to leverage its international brand network and retail expertise, creating an array of global brands at M8.

China Duty Free Group (CDFG) officially opened its new concept store at the historic M8 building in Macau on July 15, 2025, which is situated within the bounds of a UNESCO World Heritage zone, and is set to enrich the commercial landscape of Macau, the East-meets-West cultural hub.

M8 is the first commercial urban renewal project in Macau since its handover, successfully integrating historical preservation with modern commerce, and serving as a vibrant showcase of Macau’s heritage.

CDFG noted this synergy reinforces M8’s status as a premier luxury destination, providing a seamless shopping experience for residents and visitors.

Global Curations and “China Chic” Trend Zone

The new cdf Rua Nova Store features a wide range of offerings, including international luxury cosmetics, designer apparel, and more. It also includes a “China Chic Zone,” highlighting the latest products from the mainland at preferential prices for Macau consumers.

The store has established an exclusive CDF Membership Center offering tailored shopping benefits and travel perks.
