The Petisquera Group opens its first duty-free outlet at Guarani International airport in Paraguay
The Petisquera Group has opened its new duty-free outlet at Guarani International airport in Ciudad del Este after operating duty-paid retail at the Paraguayan capital's airport for six years.
Petisquera president Mohamed "Alejandro" Mannah told RavenFox.com: "Within a matter of weeks our objective is to have two stores operating. The new stores, measuring 125sq m (1,345 sq ft) and 65sq m (699sq ft), will offer international brands from all traditional duty-free categories as well as newer categories in line with the airport's passenger profile. I have identified a number of brands we need to add to our selection and I will be talking to a number of suppliers at the TFWA exhibition in Cannes next month."
