World Duty Free Group (WDFG) and Master ConcessionAir (MCA), have boosted their combined retail presence at Miami International Airport (MIA) with five new locations, between concourses H and J.
Among the new units are three standalone stores – MAC, Desigual and Coach – and two kiosks for brands Tumi and Tous – totalling an area of 3,531sq ft.
The new retail areas join 10 other store locations that World Duty Free Group operates in MIA, which serves more than 40m passengers every year.
“Miami International Airport is a major international gateway and World Duty Free Group is delighted to build on its partnership with the airport by opening these vibrant stores from five prestigious brands.
“We remain committed to delivering a first-class retail experience to passengers, to further enhance their complete airport experience and we are confident that these luxury brands will appeal to all those travelling through MIA.” said Padraig Drennan, President, World Duty Free Group North America.
“We are extremely proud to welcome these five new luxury storefronts by World Duty Free Group to MIA,” said Miami-Dade Aviation Director Emilio T. González.
“We have made a concerted effort to further diversify our retail options, which is why WDFG has opened our first-ever locations for Desigual, MAC, Tumi and Tous, and our first Coach location in the South Terminal.
“Given the strong name recognition and customer loyalty of these popular brands, we look forward to each of them performing strongly.”

“The prestige these international brands and specialty product offerings bring will continue to raise the customer experience at Miami International Airport. With their striking design and popularity, we are sure their performance will exceed expectations.”
The new 1,005sq ft MAC Cosmetics store, the largest of the new developments, marks the brand’s entry into MIA and the 992sq ft Desigual store is said to blend seamlessly with the Miami aesthetic, with its “vibrant clothing and accessories,” says the airport.
