400 Jobs To Be Created In T2 Retail Outlets
The Dublin Airport Authority has revealed some 400 retail jobs will be created when Terminal Two (T2) opens in November.
The terminal will open 40 retail outlets, including shops, restaurants and bars, with the first top bidding retailers announced as House of Ireland, WHSmith, Azure, Swatch Group, and cosmetics company Jo Malone.
The five main retailers will be joined by about 25 other operators, while further announcements expected to be made shortly.
Dublin Airport Authority (DAA) Retail Director Paul Neeson said: "Retail is an integral element of the modern airport experience and Terminal Two will offer passengers a comprehensive choice of outlets.
"Despite the downturn, there has been huge interest in T2’s retail space and we are delighted to have secured an impressive portfolio of Irish and international retailers."
The DAA says that the awarding of retail contracts for Terminal Two is done through a tender process that started last year.
The main retail area within T2 will be the international departures lounge. T2 will contain about 9,000sqm of retail and food outlets.
The DAA said almost 70% of passengers make some purchase as they travel through Dublin Airport and that for more than one third of passengers airport shopping is a seen as a core element of their trip.
Each of the new companies in T2 has agreed to pay the DAA a concession fee based on a percentage of annual sales rather than a fixed annual rent.
