US. The Nuance Group/Las Vegas, a joint venture between majority owner The Nuance Group (Las Vegas) LLC, The Rogich Communications Group Incorporated and A&B Group International LLC, has been awarded the exclusive duty free concession at Las Vegas McCarran International Airport.
The concession will have a 15-year term and the concession’s overall sales value is estimated to be over US$400 million. It will begin on 1 July 2012 and will consist initially of two duty free stores to be located in the newly built international Terminal 3.
At commencement the duty free store operations will comprise about 10,000sq ft of retail space and will offer an assortment of premium liquor, tobacco, cosmetics, fragrances, fashion, electronics and imported confectionery, said Nuance.
The main store will have 9,000sq ft of retail space and will be one of the largest duty free stores in North America, said the retailer.
The Nuance Group/Las Vegas has engaged SmartDesign Group to develop the new duty free retail space, which is expected to be completed in 2012. A new contemporary store design will incorporate shop-in-shop concepts and facilitate the offering of depth and breadth of product assortments, Nuance said.
The Nuance Group North America CEO Richard Rendek commented: “We are very pleased to continue our long-term relationship with McCarran International Airport. This new concession solidifies our foundation in the US and provides us with a platform to continue our growth in North America. I look forward to being able to offer a great duty free experience at McCarran. I am confident we will be able to add to the luxury retail experience that Las Vegas is known for, especially once the new store development is complete.”
“The Nuance Group has consistently been a top performing concessionaire at McCarran,” said Clark County Director of Aviation Randall H. Walker. “As international travellers are an increasingly important segment of visitors, we look forward to the opening of T3 which will provide Nuance significantly more space to showcase their duty free operations and provide travellers from around the world first-class customer service.”
The Nuance Group’s US operations comprise Chicago, Denver, Fort Lauderdale, Houston and Las Vegas.
