Candy Cloud arrives at Bahrain International Airport
By Charlotte Turner |
Yesterday, Bahrain International Airport opened a new Candy Cloud store; a concept designed by Aer Rianta International (ARI).
Bahrain Duty Free (managed by ARI) says the 60sq m store is located on the main passenger walkway of the departures retail area. This follows the first Candy Cloud opening for the retailer, at Dublin Airport in 2015.
The Bahrain store is home to top toy and confectionery brands, and the range is said to be ‘aimed at the young, and young at heart alike’.
Bahrain Duty Free General Manager Bassam Alwardi, spoke at the store’s launch event: “As this location is in a prime location within the terminal it was important for us to ensure that we created something fun and innovative, and we believe that with Candy Cloud we have succeeded.”

He went on to outline how the store was a sign of the customer-centric approach adapted by the retailer; and how this opening is the first of many openings scheduled by the retailer for the remainder of 2016. Bahrain Duty Free is currently refurbishing its 1,500sq m departures outlet.
