Dufry and RegStaer held an official inauguration for the fully refurbished 2,670 m2 duty free walk-through store and 235 m2 KIDS store at Pulkovo International Airport in St. Petersburg, Russia.

The opening event was attended by Maxim Sokolov, Vice Governor of St. Petersburg; Leonid Sergeev, CEO Airport Pulkovo; as well as Julián Díaz, CEO Dufry, and Alexander Baev, Chairman of the Board of Directors of RegStaer.
The design of the new walk-through store conveys a sense of summer gardens, creating an airy and open space, while bionic décor elements reflect the beautiful and majestic city of St. Petersburg with a modern twist. The duty-free shop offers customers a wide range of products from the world's most renowned brands across all major categories, including perfume and cosmetics, spirits, confectionery and fashion accessories.
The KIDS concept store, which is conveniently located just after the main duty free store welcomes both adults and children alike to explore its bright and inviting space. Designed with a strong aviation theme, brightly colored toy planes hang from the ceiling and product gondolas resemble helicopters! The product mix combines toys, confectionery, children’s sunglasses and clothing from major brands including Lego, Kinder, Ray-Ban, Polaroid and Gulliver.
