Relay-Ayala’s has won a seven-year news & gifts concession at Las Vegas


US. HDS Retail North America alongside partner Ayala’s Inc will operate a Relay news & gift store at Las Vegas McCarran International Airport from next year, after winning a tender for the business.

Revenues under the seven-year deal are expected to hit US$42 million. The partners bid US$2.4 million annually for the 1,800sq ft concession.

HDS Retail said that Relay at Las Vegas-McCarran will benefit from state-of-the-art design, materials and finishes incorporated into the Relay concept, which was recently redesigned. The store also incorporates significant architectural features to provide a Sense of Place about the city of Las Vegas and the surrounding area, it said.

“Our brand new Relay stores are performing extremely well in Toronto-Pearson and we are about to launch the new design in JFK Terminal Three, Montreal-Trudeau and in the West Chevron expansion at Vancouver International,” said HDS Retail North America President & CEO Jean-Baptiste Morin.

“We are excited about our partnership with the Ayala family, a great success story at McCarran, and are just ecstatic at the thought of serving travellers in one of the world’s fastest growing airports,” Morin continued.
