✈️ Today, we are excited to announce our new travel essentials retail strategy, which will see us extend our long-standing partnership with #WHSmith and introduce Lagardère Travel Retail’s #RELAY brand to the UK for the first time.
🔸 WHSmith will be extending its presence with three new global flagship travel retail stores set to launch at the airport, marking the next milestone in Heathrow’s nearly 80-year partnership with the iconic British brand
🔸 Lagardère Travel Retail’s RELAY brand, which has an existing presence in more than 300 airports worldwide, will debut in the UK with four new stores coming to Heathrow Terminal 2
These partnerships will see passengers provided with more choice, convenience and quality under one roof, as we use our DESO (Design, Experience, Space, Offer) retail strategy to help us make every journey better and become an extraordinary airport, fit for the future.
