USA. Mills Pharmacy & Apothecary and World Duty Free Group (WDFG) last month marked the one-year anniversary of the Mills store at Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport.
Located in the McNamara Terminal with a total retail area of 345sq ft, this locally owned boutique specialises in health, well-being and personal care products, sourced from around the globe.
Passengers travelling from the airport can purchase both conventional and all-natural medicines, according to the company. The boutique, inspired by the design of the Mills flagship store in Birmingham, Michigan, also stocks a range of high-end apothecary goods, including men’s grooming aids from Jack Black and Cire Trudon travel candles.

WDFG North America VP of Retail Operations Mark Sowerby commented: “We were delighted to partner with this long-established local brand to bring its retail offer to Detroit Metropolitan Airport and are thrilled to celebrate its one-year anniversary.
“The store perfectly complements our wider portfolio – both within the airport itself and in the US as a whole – which currently comprises 242 stores in 30 airports across the country. We are committed to continuing to invigorate the passenger experience by supporting local business while delivering a memorable shopping experience at the airport.”
Mills Pharmacy & Apothecary co-founder Pierre Boutros added: “As a local business, being able to open a satellite store at the airport was a true honour for us and we are excited to offer passengers a carefully curated selection of well-being, grooming and beauty gifts this holiday season and beyond.”
