Kuoni opens new luxury travel store in the heart of
Nottingham's shopping heartland, Bridlesmith Gate. The store is a
landmark opening for Kuoni, as it is the 'tenth' luxury travel store
opening for the company in the UK, and is part of an ongoing strategy
for retail growth over the next 18 months.
The new store has created six jobs locally and follows the recent opening of five
chic and exotic Kuoni travel stores in Bristol, Milton Keynes, Bluewater, Solihull
and Cheltenham.
The Nottingham opening is seen as yet another great location for the luxury holidays brand as it re-writes the history
books on the look and feel of travel stores of the future. The Nottingham store has
sumptuous seating, natural wood desks and brochure display areas; video screening to
exhibit the far flung and exotic destinations on offer and a team of dedicated and
well travelled advisors will be making sure shoppers have an enjoyable and memorable
experience when they book a Kuoni holiday.
Derek Jones, Kuoni Distribution director explained: "We are proud and excited to
open a store in Nottingham. We hope to have an enthusiastic welcome from the City
and quickly become a 'must visit' store for the three million or so people who
live within one hour of Nottingham's city centre.
"We want to encourage shoppers to visit Kuoni as part of their regular shopping
trips. Anna Muir, the store manager and her team literally have the world at their
fingertips and visitors to the store can book anything from an around the world trip
to a weekend break."
Anna Muir added: "Nottingham is a vibrant city with a great reputation as a
destination for shopping, and we want to encourage people to shop for holiday ideas
and inspirations throughout the year, not just when they think they need a holiday.
We want customers to browse our store the same way they shop for other luxury
purchases."
Cllr Penny Griggs, Sheriff of Nottingham, commented: "We are delighted to have a
leading travel brand like Kuoni in our midst. Nottingham has a wealth of both local
and international business offering fashion, beauty, technology, music and sports
brands and Kuoni is a welcome addition to what we have to offer local shoppers.
Kuoni offer a truly dynamic new approach to buying travel for every budget and have
over 100 years experience in the travel business. Now we can book our family
holidays, weekend breaks or inspirational holidays of a lifetime and then enjoy
shopping for the perfect holiday wardrobe in the other great stores we have in our
city centre."
Derek Jones concluded, "We hope to change the way consumers shop for holidays.
Kuoni have an enviable reputation for first class customer service from a team of
well travelled and dedicated travel advisors who work in-store and Nottingham will
be no exception. We hope to make every holiday booked the well deserved break from
everyday life that we all need."
