USA. Stellar Partners is opening three stores at Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport, after striking a partnership with retail developer Fraport USA.
The stores include Baltimore’s well-known White House Black Market brand, athleisure brand Marika’s first standalone store, and Stellar News, which will be run by Stellar and Morgan Group Ventures, Inc. (MGV) as part of a joint venture.
“We’re dedicated to bringing the traveller shopping options that make for a quality experience,” said Fraport Maryland Vice President Brett Kelly. “Part of the reason we chose Stellar and MGV was because of the great brand partnerships and operations experience they have. We’re proud to introduce Stellar to the programme and equally excited bring these new brands to the BWI lineup.”
“This retail offering is designed specifically with the BWI Marshall Airport traveller in mind. The Stellar team is passionate about providing top brands and exceptional customer service in our expanding collection of stores, which is why joining the BWI Airport family is such an exciting milestone for Stellar,” said Stellar Partners President and CEO Padraig Drennan. “We thank Fraport USA and the Maryland Aviation Administration for the opportunity to serve the airport’s growing passenger base.”
