Leading premium confectionery brand Lindt & Sprüngli has unveiled its upgraded Lindt Retail Boutique concept at its home hub, Zurich Airport. Originally opened in 2011, Lindt’s sole standalone airport boutique introduces a more premium design aesthetic alongside a number of new and exclusive elements which strengthen shopper engagement and deliver a broader retail and F&B offer.

The upgraded 130m2 boutique is the latest milestone in a decade-plus ‘Trinity’ partnership between Lindt, Avolta and Zurich Airport, which has seen Lindt establish itself as the location’s number one chocolate brand. This spirit of partnership and ambition has driven the introduction of a number of exclusive offerings at the Boutique, including:

• Lindt Crema Gelata – A must-try for ice cream enthusiasts, crafted with fresh Lindt chocolate. Visitors can choose from dark chocolate, white chocolate, or a delightful mix of both.

• Lindt Hot & Cold Drinks – Guests can indulge in a selection of irresistible chocolate beverages, available hot or cold.

• Lindt Croissant – A delicious French butter croissant dipped in finest Lindt Milk and dark chocolate, perfect for a sweet treat on the go. Embodying the close collaboration between partners, croissants are freshly baked at Avolta’s renowned F&B operation before being transferred to the Lindt Retail Boutique for the final unique finishing touch.

• Iconic Lindt Chocolate – the widest assortment of Lindt in travel retail globally, from iconic favourites LINDOR and Swiss Masterpieces to new innovations, including Captain Cocoa and Captain Skyla. The Lindt Gruezi range is exclusive to the Boutique in travel retail while LINDOR Pick n Mix and Lindt Choco Wafers are also a major focus.

Peter Zehnder, Head of Lindt & Sprüngli Global Travel Retail commented: “As an iconic Swiss brand with deep ties to the city of Zurich, Lindt’s presence at its home airport is a strategically important expression of the brand’s roots and ambition. I’m therefore delighted to unveil – side by side with our partners from Zurich Airport and Avolta – the new Lindt Retail Boutique concept, delivering the ultimate expression of our brand in travel retail. This is truly a milestone project, offering a wealth of unique and memorable retail and F&B experiences for travelers and chocolate lovers.”
