Aveda, Jo Malone London and MAC Cosmetics from Estée Lauder Companies (ELC) have moved into the International Terminal D at Dallas Fort Worth International (DFW) Airport, with three new stores in two different locations.

 

“This is just another step in the evolution of Terminal D, our international terminal, which is well on its way to becoming a premier retail and dining destination for our customers,” said Ken Buchanan, Executive Vice President of revenue management at DFW Airport.

 

“With the addition of these globally recognized luxury beauty brands, DFW Airport is enhancing the customer experience and appealing to a global audience.”

 

DFW Airport served 64m passengers last year and boasts 153 domestic and 56 international routes worldwide. DFW is investing $2.7bn in a Terminal ‘Renewal and Improvement programme’ to renovate its four original terminal buildings.

 

Aveda, Jo Malone and MAC, which each have two locations at D18 and D25, respectively, join a number of new retail and dining outlets to move into International Terminal D, including: Coach, Hugo Boss, L’Occitane, Montblanc, TUMI, Sky Canyon by Stephan Pyles, III Forks Prime Steakhouse and Dylan’s Candy Bar.

 

 

In 2015, DFW Airport’s board of directors selected TRG Duty Free Joint Venture to design and operate new, state-of-the-art duty-free shops in International Terminal D beginning in 2017.

 

“These prestige beauty brands, known world-wide will now be presented in DFW as individual boutiques,” said Olivier Bottrie, President of Travel Retail Worldwide, Estée Lauder Companies.

 

“All stores are built with unique customized design features, and our multi-lingual expert beauty advisors and makeup artists will provide personalized consultation to customers seeking product guidance or assistance in selecting the perfect gift.

 

“Visitors to these stores will be able to experience the most recent product introduction from these brands and range of services designed specifically for the traveling consumer.”

 

“The addition of six Estée Lauder branded stores at DFW Airport is nothing short of remarkable,” said Steve Flory, managing partner of Estée Lauder branded stores. “This significant advancement in retail elevates DFW Airport into the top echelon of global retail innovation. In more than two decades of involvement in operations at DFW Airport, I have never witnessed such a high level of vision, enthusiasm, leadership and commitment by the DFW concession team.”
