The Switzerland-based global travel retailer ‘Dufry’ has joined with the American multinational clothing and accessories purveyor ‘Gap’ to launch the latter’s first-ever store in Spain.
Spread across an area of 300 square-metres at Aeropuerto de Málaga (Málaga Airport), the retail space, which also is the brand’s largest airport located store in the world, offers an array of clothing from the company’s numerous labels including Gap, GapKids and babyGap collections.
About the new association, Julián Díaz, Dufry’s chief executive officer, said, “Dufry is very proud that GAP has entrusted us with opening its first store in Spain, the worldwide largest in an airport. It is a pleasure for us to work with one of the world’s major fashion brands.”
Stefan Laban, senior vice-president of Gap International, said, “We are thrilled to bring Gap’s casual American style to more customers in Europe. Given the high affinity and brand awareness towards Gap with the Spanish consumers, we felt partnering with Dufry to create branded shopping experiences in the Malaga airport.”
Dufry operates more than 1700 stores located in airports, train stations, cruise ships, seaports and other tourist spots in over 60 countries. California based Gap runs over 3,200 company-operated stores, over 400 franchise outlets and e-commerce sites in 90 countries. The brand is known for its on-trend, casual clothing and accessories.
