The store will occupy a 135-square-metre space in Terminal 1. It is National Geographic’s second airport store in Europe; the first opened in Rome’s international airport in summer 2013. Both stores are operated by Global Retailer, one of the leading travel retail
companies on the market, specialized in running licensed shops of top brands. Since its establishment in 2009, Global Retailer has earned many awards and accolades, and has joined the ranks of elite travel retail companies worldwide who are recognized for their constant innovation.
“Our first pop-up store in Rome received such an enthusiastic response that we decided to team up with Global Retailer to bring this concept to Dublin. By partnering with retail experts like Global Retailer, we plan to expand this innovative format around the world,” said Marisa Selfa, CEO of Worldwide Retail Store S.L.
”We are extremely delighted to mark another milestone in our international development by opening a second National Geographic Store,” agreed Marco Passoni, CEO of Global Retailer.
Drawing on National Geographic’s 126-year history of inspiring people to care about the planet, the new National Geographic Store in Dublin will offer its products and services in a constantly evolving, culturally inspired setting.
“Visitors from around the globe are drawn to Ireland’s rich heritage,” said Alison Middleton, senior vice president of International Brand Licensing at the National Geographic Society. “We’re excited to bring a retail experience that provides opportunities for cultural discovery.”
The new establishment will feature a diverse selection of National Geographic products, including its award-winning magazines and books. The store will also offer items designed for the rigors of adventure and exploration, from casual travel gear to multi-layered apparel suitable for diverse climates and activities. Key product lines will include apparel, optical, luggage, travel collection, accessories, stationery, maps, globes and a unique selection of children’s products.
