T2 retailer line up confirmed

Heathrow Airport has confirmed the retailer line up for the new Terminal 2.

The airport say they have chosen each of the 62 shops and restaurants following passenger requests and a study of the latest industry trends which called for more premium restaurant experiences and a greater number of British brands. Those confirmed include Cath Kidston, London’s Pride by Fullers, Bottega Veneta, Michael Kors and a new restaurant created by four local female chefs – The Gorgeous Kitchen.

Heathrow is home to some of the world’s most successful retail space, with outlets at the airport delivering annual net sales of over £1.8 billion and sales per square meter of £30,052.

The competitive two-year tender process resulted in more than five proposals for each unit In T2, surpassing the number of bids received for Terminal 5 opening.

Max Vialou-Clark, Heathrow’s retail director said: “Terminal 2’s opening will introduce Heathrow passengers to a whole new experience when they fly with us. From a restaurant created by Michelin-starred Heston Blumenthal to everyone’s favourite, John Lewis – we have really pushed the boundaries of what is expected from an airport.”

The new Terminal 2, known as ‘The Queen’s terminal’ will open on 4 June this year.
