US. Marshall Retail Group yesterday opened DepARTures, an “art-immersed” store at San Francisco International Airport (SFO) Harvey Milk Terminal 1.
“Marshall Retail Group delivers a distinctive airport experience in an authentic environment that echoes San Francisco’s dynamic spirit,” said Marshall Retail Group Chief Executive Officer Michael C. Wilkins. “DepARTure’s engaging store design creates a unique retail experience for travellers, reflecting not only the airport’s aesthetic, but also the heartbeat of the City by the Bay.”
DepARTures replicates the character and mood of the local art community by blending artisan merchandise sourced from San Francisco neighbourhoods with newsstand necessities and new technology to celebrate what Marshall Retail Group dubbed “the modern romance of travel”.
The store features a selection of travel-friendly gifts and essentials, including branded and licensed merchandise from San Francisco sports teams. It also offers electronic accessories, snacks, souvenirs, and locally-sourced artisan confections from Woodhouse Chocolates, Bakeology Cookie Bites, Siren Snacks Protein Bites and more.
DepARTures features artist Amy Foster’s evocative depictions of local San Francisco cityscapes in a homage to the city’s thriving art scene and entrepreneurial spirit.
