Oslo, 1. December 2016. On Thursday, 1st of December, Travel Retail Norway opened the brand new Heinemann Duty Free at Avinor Oslo Aiport. The Heinemann Duty Free Shop will be one of two twin store catering to departing travellers. Each store offers great shopping experiences with combined more than twice as much space, brand new concepts like “Gifting” and “Men´s World” and a large number of Norwegian quality products.
Travellers at Oslo Airport will have a completely new and redesigned concept. The new departure shop, located at the new north terminal, takes the natural feel to a whole new level, with amongst other fully grown trees inside the shop. Although the trees won’t be installed until early 2017, travellers will immediately see that they are shopping amongst large rock formations.
These are the highlights of the improvements in the new Heinemann Duty Free Shop at the new departures area of Oslo Airport:
Designated area “Men´s world” with fragrances for men
Far wider cosmetic range for women
More local and ecological products
Designated area for microbreweries
More Norwegian quality products
The new shop will be 2,400 square meters, which is 500 sqm larger than the size of the current store. The “old” shop was closed down today for rebuilding. When it opens in 2017 there will be almost 5000 sqm of duty free departure shopping at Oslo Aiport, 3000 sqm more than it has been for the last years.
“We are very excited and thrilled of taking the concept of nature even further. We want our customers to have a harmonic shopping experience. We hope they will enjoy the time they spend with us shopping”, says Managing Director of TRN, Håkon Fjeld-Hansen.
Raoul Spanger, Executive Director Retail at Gebr. Heinemann, adds: The outstanding and longlasting partnership between TRN and Gebr. Heinemann is based on close contact and commitment. We are happy to open this new Departure Shop in Oslo to our costumers, since it will again contribute to the company’s further development and creates a new level of shopping experience that will exceed the Norwegian and international traveller´s expectations even more.“
