New RELAY and Discover Wellington stores now open at Wellington Airport
LagardereAWPL has opened the latest two stores in Wellington Airport’s retail transformation with Discover Wellington and an updated RELAY now open. The new stores join Tech2Go, Amuse and Duty Free @ WLG.
Costa Kouros, CEO, LagardereAWPL says: “Over the last 12 months our teams have been working hard to transform our retail offering at Wellington Airport. We thank Matt Clarke, Richard Dalby and the team at Wellington Airport for trusting us to continue our partnership with excellence.”
“Our aim is to deliver a world-class experience for travellers through New Zealand’s capital city airport for many years to come.”
Discover Wellington offers travellers a true taste of New Zealand's North Island through a curated selection of authentic, high-quality, and affordable gifts. Discover blends a global approach with a local flavour, offering beloved local brands alongside exciting new products.
Some local favourites travellers will find at Discover include treats from Wellington Chocolate Factory and Dr Bugs Popcorn, Pottery from Jacinda Brandley and merchandise ready to cheer on the Hurricanes.
The refreshed next-generation Relay store brings a brand-new look and feel to the airport alongside new categories that elevate the travel essentials offering. In addition to books, magazines and kids’ products, travellers will find grab & go food, push button coffee, a bakery selection, premium travel accessories and technology plus essential health and beauty.
Wellington Airport chief executive Matt Clarke says: “These new stores are a fantastic addition to the terminal experience. Discover Wellington offers locally-themed souvenirs and gifts celebrating our region, and the new expanded RELAY store has an amazing shopping selection.
“We’re now midway through a major refresh of our terminal. In addition to these new stores we’ve delivered the new multi-level venue Good Day, a new terminal sculpture centrepiece Manu Muramura, and we’re about to commence the full redevelopment of our Duty-Free offerings with our new duty-free operator LagardereAWPL.”
To celebrate the opening, travellers can participate in a treasure hunt activity designed to showcase the full breadth of retail offerings at the airport during the April school holidays.
