The first Kuoni pop-up travel store opens in Westfield London.
This latest launch follows the recent opening of three new chic and
exotic travel stores by Kuoni in Bristol, Milton Keynes and Bluewater
and just days before a further store opening in Solihull.
The Westfield opening is seen as a fantastic platform for the luxury holidays brand as it re-writes the history
books on the 'look and feel' of travel stores for the future with its new
'boutique style' stores.
Derek Jones, Kuoni Distribution Director explained, "We are proud and excited to
open our first UK pop-up store in Westfield London. We have enjoyed an enthusiastic
welcome from shoppers which has been supported by the number of holidays booked in
the first few days of trading, indeed, we can't rule out the possible opening of
further pop-up stores in the future."
Jones continued, "The pop-up store is part of the Kuoni strategy for retail growth
over the next 18 months. Our presence at this luxury shopping destination gives us
the opportunity to mirror the aesthetics in our pop-up that we have been showcasing
in our recent store openings. Sumptuous leather seating, natural wood desks and
brochure display areas, video screening to exhibit far flung and exotic destinations
on offer from Kuoni and our team of dedicated and well travelled advisors will be
making sure shoppers have an enjoyable and memorable experience when they book a
Kuoni holiday."
Jones concluded, "We want to encourage shoppers to visit Kuoni as part of their
regular shopping trips. The Kuoni team at Westfield London literally have the world
at their fingertips and visitors to the pop-up can book anything from an around the
world trip to a weekend break in a lunch hour or spend longer relaxing in the Kuoni
surroundings while creating their individual globetrotting adventures. Westfield
London has discerning shoppers, many travelling from all over the country to enjoy
the Westfield London experience and we believe at Kuoni we have a holiday for every
Westfield London visitor."
Jill McArdle from Westfield London said: "We are delighted to have a leading travel
brand like Kuoni in our midst. We are surrounded by the world's cutting edge
fashion, beauty, technology, music and sports brands and this means that we are now
adding a truly dynamic new approach to buying travel at Westfield London.
Inspirational holidays can be purchased alongside leading fashions".
