Luxury performance brand Canada Goose has partnered with Frankfurt Airport Retail (FAR) to open its first airport travel retail store at Frankfurt Airport.

A joint venture between Canada Goose, FAR, Gebr. Heinemann and airport operator Fraport, the store opened on 4 September. It is located in Terminal 1’s non-Schengen area in Atrium Z. 

The new store is Canada Goose’s first in the airport travel retail sector. 

Headquartered in Toronto and founded in 1957, the core Canada Goose down-filled range is manufactured in Canada. 

It is celebrated for its “enduring style, functionality, relentless innovation and uncompromised craftsmanship”. The brand offers year-round collections for men, women and children. 

Inside its Frankfurt Airport boutique, travellers will discover current Canada Goose collections, alongside iconic pieces.

The offering spans lightweight jackets for rain and wind, to fleece and knitwear pieces. 

Accessories from waist packs and beanies to gloves and scarves will also be available.
