The openings are part of a broader retail development programme.

Paradies Lagardère has opened two new outlets at Toronto Pearson International Airport: Muskoka Supply Co and Greetings from Toronto.

The openings are said to mark the first milestone of a broader programme to elevate the airport’s retail experience, and reinforce the company’s commitment to delivering locally inspired concepts for travellers.

Muskoka Supply Co and Greetings from Toronto aim to bring a distinctly Canadian sense of place to the airport, featuring curated assortments from more than 30 Canadian suppliers that celebrate regional culture, craftsmanship and creativity.

“We understand the importance of offering our passengers meaningful retail options that showcase local brands rooted in our Canadian identity,” noted Toronto Pearson Chief Commercial Officer Kurush Minocher.

The new stores feature curated assortments from more than 30 Canadian suppliers that celebrate regional culture, craftsmanship and creativity.

Paradies Lagardère CEO Gregg Paradies commented:  “These openings represent an exciting first step in bringing our new vision for retail at Toronto Pearson to life.
