Paradies Lagardère is to open four new stores at Vancouver International Airport having been awarded two concessions packages.

Three will be located in the International Terminal Building (ITB) and one in the Domestic Terminal Building (DTB).

Coastal News, which will open in 2019, will feature a new modern design that will appeal to airport employees and international travellers alike, according to the company.

PRE-SECURITY LOCATION

The ITB pre-security location will offer travel basics such as neck pillows, eye masks, travel adapters, smartphone cables, drinks and snacks and regional gifts and gourmet food items such as Maple Crème cookies and Icewine tea and chocolates.

In the ITB post-security, Relay will also feature a new design offering travel essentials and a full-service illy Café with seating. Both concepts will open in 2019.

Next year, a Deepwater Spirit shop offering local products will begin trading in the new expanded ITB area, while a new Pacific Coast News outlet will also open in the DTB pre-security area.
