US. Relay at Ind unveiled six stores at the long-awaited new Indianapolis International Airport terminal which opened yesterday amid great fanfare. Relay at Ind is a partnership between HDS Retail and DRE Retail.
The US$1.1 billion facility, named Col. H. Weir Cook Terminal, can handle up to 12 million passengers a year. It features 50 retailers and restaurants, plus free Wi-Fi.
Several of HDS Retail’s key banners are part of the airport’s new concession programme, including Relay, the world’s largest news and gift brand; the recently developed news and convenience concept USA Today Travel Zone; and Hub Convenience, a concept offering news, quick grab-and-go meals, snacks, coffee and confectionery items.
Two other speciality concepts round out the programme: a line of body care, kitchen and ambience products, provided by Fruits & Passion; and jewellery and fashion accessories offered by Artizan.
HDS Retail President & CEO Gerry Savaria said: “We feel privileged to be part of this exciting project. The new terminal building makes a huge statement and will greatly enhance the experience of Indianapolis residents and visitors alike as they travel through the airport.”
