Ultra Diamonds’s kiosk occupies 307sq ft in the terminal’s shopping mall known as “˜The Shops at Terminal 4′ |
US. Fine jewellery retailer Ultra Diamonds, in partnership with JFK IAT, has opened its first New York airport location at Terminal 4 of John F. Kennedy (JFK) International Airport.
Located in the public area at Terminal 4 before security checkpoints, the store is Ultra Diamonds’s second airport location in the country. The diamond-shaped kiosk occupies 307sq ft in the terminal’s shopping mall known as “˜The Shops at Terminal 4′.
The Shops feature a selection of choices from upscale boutiques and lifestyle fashions to a ‘everything-at-$10’ gift shop. The retail mall also houses convenience stores selling books and sundries, a full-service spa and arcade game area. Duty free and tax free shopping is also available.
Ultra Diamonds Senior Vice President of Corporate Development Michael Bagull commented: “We’re thrilled to open our first New York airport location at Terminal 4. Given the terminal’s commitment to developing traffic and providing a variety of shopping options in a thriving retail environment, we knew this venture would be a win-win for all. What we didn’t know was how successful it would be – the results have exceeded all expectations.”
“Ultra Diamond’s sophisticated and elegant build out is a handsome complement to the quality pieces that the retailer showcases. It has attracted much attention at Terminal 4,” said Janice Holden, Chief Commercial Officer for JFK IAT, LLC, which operates Terminal 4. “The shop’s pre-security, public area location appeals to travellers and their family and friends who can browse and purchase the wide assortment of diamonds and other jewellery.”
