Montblanc reveals extensive travel retail store opening programme

A Montblanc shop-in-shop at Moscow Sheremetyevo Airport opened for business last month


Luxury goods house Montblanc has unveiled details of its travel retail store opening programme, with boutiques scheduled to begin trading across Europe.

In its home market of Germany, a new store in Hamburg Airport’s Plaza area will open for business by the beginning of November, and a new boutique (non-Schengen) is to begin trading in 2012 at Frankfurt Airport Terminal A+. At Munich Airport, the company plans a new 50sq m boutique in Terminal 2 at the end of 2011, while in Berlin a new boutique is slated to open in the new airport during Q1/Q2 of 2012.

Elsewhere in Europe, a new 50sq m boutique will begin trading in December 2011 in London Heathrow Terminal 1, and at Moscow Sheremetyevo, a shop-in-shop recently opened for business in October 2011.

New shops at Paris Charles de Gaulle

The brand is active at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport, and in both terminals it inaugurated two new shops in July 2011 with Duty Free Paris, the fashion joint venture between LS travel retail EMEA and Aéroports de Paris.

From July 2012, the new terminal CDG S4 will be receiving A380 flights, so high-spending passengers are expected. In this new terminal Montblanc will establish a boutique in the “luxury street”.

As part of extensive airport redevelopment plans, Terminal 2A and C will close at end of 2011 and re-open in October 2012. After the re-opening there will be a Montblanc mono-brand store in 2C and a Montblanc corner in 2A.
