Duty Free Americas (DFA) will open its first store at Singapore Changi Airport after capturing one of three recent speciality/brand name store concessions in Terminal 2.

DFA will operate 46sq m unit under the ‘Black’ speciality store name in Departure/Transit Lounge South. The three-year contract runs for three years from 29 November, with no renewal option. It follows a Direct Marketing Exercise conducted by Changi Airport Group earlier this year as it sought partners for the concessions.

The other two contracts, in 94sq m and 85sq m respectively, were won by RSH Singapore and Dufry. The former will run a Ted Baker store while the latter will run a new Tumi store in T2.

The Dufry/Tumi three-year concession begins on 28 November while the RSH/Ted Baker concession takes effect from 1 March 2018. Duty Free Americas will take its brand of retailing to Singapore Changi Airport with its latest international contract.
