SEYCHELLES. Seychelles Trading Company has unveiled a renovated arrivals duty free store at Seychelles International Airport. The refurbishment was organised by the store’s supplier Gebr. Heinemann and its design contractor Dakota Design.
The upgraded store features products offering a strong Sense of Place, alongside international brands covering categories including fragrances, cosmetics, fashion, wines & spirits and gourmet foods.
The official opening of the store was conducted in the presence of STC Chief Executive Siana Bistoquet; STC Deputy CEO David Jean Baptiste; Seychelles Civil Aviation Authority (SCAA) CEO Garry Albert; and other key personnel from the STC and SCAA teams.
Harald Suenner and Millicent Abiero Lubrecht represented Gebr. Heinemann at the opening, with Sigourney Kinnear of Dakota Design also in attendance.
Gebr. Heinemann Director Sales Middle East and Africa Bernard Schlafstein said: “We have been working alongside STC as their supplier for more than ten years now and we cannot stress enough how highly we value this professional and great partnership that is characterised by trust and shared values.
“We were happy to be part of this project as it was clearly key to all parties involved to create a shop that brings across the local sense of the Seychelles through individual shop design and a carefully selected assortment. The renovation phase required very precise planning and everyone did a wonderful job, particularly the teams of STC and Dakota Design.”
In an upcoming project, Gebr. Heinemann said it will support STC during the renovation of its duty free store in the Seychelles International Airport departures area.
