It’s official: Duty Free shops of the Heinemann brand are now present in four European countries. The ceremonial opening of a new flagship store at Budapest Airport sees the Heinemann brand expand its European portfolio to include 20 airports across Germany, Austria, Slovakia and Hungary – and that number is set to grow. In the words of co-owner Gunnar Heinemann, “This opening is of special importance to our company, as Hungary is a standard-bearer for the remarkable transformation which has taken place in Europe over the last 20 years. The new SkyCourt at Budapest Airport is a wonderful symbol of how closely the citizens of our continent are now connected by air transport.” The Heinemann brand is also being introduced at a number of additional airports in Germany and Austria, with new stores opening in Vienna (February), Hannover (March) and Saint Petersburg in 2011 alone. From January 2012 onwards the map of Heinemann’s European presence will broaden to include Norway, with the brand set to be introduced at the Oslo, Trondheim, Kristiansand and Stavanger airports. The new capital airport Berlin Brandenburg International (BBI) will follow in 2012.
