NEW ZEALAND. “Are you passionate about luxury brands and providing unforgettable customer service? Do you want to live in Queenstown, one of the most beautiful destinations in the world?”
Those are the tempting questions posed by DFS Group as it kickstarts a staff and management recruitment drive for its newest T Galleria store due to open in the heart of Queenstown in Q4.
As reported, DFS is positioning the store within a new ‘Resort Galleria’ concept which is being introduced to the travel retailer’s global portfolio.
The store is sited in O’Connells, one of Queenstown’s most popular retail and dining complexes, which is being renovated by owners Skyline Enterprises.
Queenstown, a resort town in the South Island of New Zealand, is a favourite holiday destination for local and international tourists thanks to its dramatic alpine scenery, multitude of year-round activities and Central Otago wine industry.
Its excellent dining, hospitality and entertainment options – it is dubbed New Zealand’s adventure capital – are particularly appealing to international travellers. The town is New Zealand’s second-most visited tourist location, having received around 1.2 million visitors in pre-pandemic 2019.
T Galleria by DFS, Queenstown will occupy 1,800sq m of space across two floors of the new O’Connells complex, providing an international retail experience unlike anything that is currently available in the town, DFS pledged.
The store will feature some of the world’s most renowned luxury brands across fashion and accessories, beauty, watches, jewellery and wines and spirits, alongside some of New Zealand’s best local products.
T Galleria by DFS, Queenstown will be DFS’ third location in New Zealand. The retailer has operated T Galleria by DFS, Auckland in the famous Custom House heritage building since 1997 and operates several boutiques at Auckland Airport.
