Nailing the art of pampering travellers: Manicure Express at London Gatwick North Terminal |
UK. A new Manicure Express outlet has opened at World Duty Free’s (WDF) main store at London Gatwick North Terminal. The concept offers a number of “nail packages” designed to suit the needs of every type of passenger.
The outlet first opened in October, and is set for an initial six-month trial period. Gatwick aside, Manicure Express also has existing units at Heathrow Terminals 1, 3 and 4.
The launch is said to be part of WDF’s strategy to offer an increasingly interactive retail environment.
Manicure Express Managing Director Miren Isasi commented: “We are delighted to offer our luxurious but affordable services to World Duty Free’s customers (both male and female) and to take this exciting opportunity to become part of the enhanced shopping experience of World Duty Free at Gatwick North.”
WDF Managing Director Mark Riches added: “The airport is a great environment for a swift pampering service like Manicure Express and we are delighted to welcome them to Gatwick North. At World Duty Free we endeavour to offer choice to our customers and this service will give Gatwick’s passengers the chance to make time for themselves before they fly.”
WDF Head of Category for Beauty and Luxury Goods Debbie Ansell commented: “As our customers become more sophisticated, we are looking increasingly to the retail environment, particularly aspects such as customer service, retail theatre and new and exclusive brands and products, to generate excitement in the airport shopping arena.
“Services such as Manicure Express will, we hope, delight passengers and revitalise them before their flight.”
