ARI North America has opened its newly-renovated ‘The Loop Duty Free Montreal’ offering, fashioned as a full refurbishment American destination duty free store in Montreal-Trudeau Airport.

 

The company says it has undergone an extensive remodelling process and expanded its range of products aimed at travellers to the US in particular.

 

SOME PRODUCTS AIMED AT US-BOUND TRAVELLERS

These include a newly extended range of cosmetics and fragrance brands from Tom Ford and Tory Burch, plus other popular brands, including Chanel, Dior, Armani, Lancôme and Clarins, among others.

 

The operator says specialty sections have also been added for the first time in the wine and spirits section including ‘intricate floor to ceiling wooden shelving, reminiscent of grand wine cellars.

It says these house the new concept wine area aptly titled ‘L’amour du vin’. Several bays of sleek black metal display the extensive selection of whiskies from single malt scotches to blends from around the world and a large library of Canadian choices in the ‘Collection Whisky’ section.

 

The company says: “The Canadiana area now brings together all the best Canadian food and drink; ice wines, maple products, ciders and locally-made spirits. This delivers a true sense of place for passengers travelling through Montreal Airport.

 

“Brightly lit walls of sunglasses draw you in to the fashion section that now offers a wide array of luggage, handbags and accessories.

 

The section features a wall of stunning handbags designed by the Montreal-native global superstar, Celine Dion, as well as a corner dedicated to the local favorite RUDSAK leather goods and accessories.”

ARI adds that the store offers both new and exclusive products, all tax free with knowledgeable and friendly staff on hand to provide assistance.

 

Commenting on the initiative, Jackie McDonagh, General Manager, Aer Rianta International North America said: “We are delighted to have completed our refurbishment to enhance the passenger experience within Montreal Airport.

 

 

“What is exceptionally pleasing for us at Aer Rianta International is having brands like RUDSAK and Celine Dion along with our beautiful Canadiana section which resonates with Montreal and creates a sense of place for our customers.
