Fashion retailer Next is set to open its largest tax-free store at London’s Stansted Airport next month.
The chain has secured a prime position in the £80m transformation of the international departure lounge.
In addition to both women’s and men’s fashion, the new store, set for take-off mid-October, will have the brand’s own range of children’s clothing, which is a first at any UK airport.
Beth Brewster, Manchester Airports Group (MAG) retail director, said: “Our vision to transform Stansted was to offer a broader range of options for passengers and so to secure such a leading high street brand is a very exciting development.
“These are exciting times at Stansted and I’m delighted to welcome Next on board as they join the line up of global brands, new concepts and popular favourites getting involved with our multi-million pound development.”
Iain Allsop, estates manager for Next said: “We’re extremely excited to be opening yet another airport store within the UK. Stansted is a fantastic airport with great facilities and we’re very pleased to be part of it. This store will be perfect for any shopper that needs those last minute fashion products.”
