The new duty-free shop at Bristol International Airport opens for business on Sunday.

World Duty Free (WDF) has been chosen from four contenders to run the outlet, which takes around £57,000 a day.

It beat competition from firms including Aelia, Avonmouth firm Harding Brothers and incumbent The Nuance Group to win the seven-and-a-half-year contract, worth £20 million a year.

Handing over tomorrow night, a core project team and volunteers from the business will work through the night to change all the systems, install the new temporary signage and marketing materials and completely restock the shelves with approximately 44,000 units of 5,500 products.

The redevelopment of the site begins on Monday, aiming to complete 1,076sq m of new retail space for spring 2010.

The new 'walkthrough' store will be 40 per cent larger than the current concession, and will offer a more extensive range of products across all categories, including liquor, beauty, accessories and confectionery. The store will offer a range of local products as part of a strategy to support local businesses and promote the 'Best from the West'.
