Kirk Freeport in ambitious Cayman project

Print Article E-Mail Article

Kirk Freeport is getting ready to open the first phase of a 12,000sq ft (1,115sq m) store in Grand Cayman?s new Bayshore Mall

The project is the brainchild of managing director Gerry Kirkconnell, whose parents previously ran the company and began planning the project more than 10 years ago. Kirkconnell said the store design would blend a modern look with Cayman-style architecture, and promised that the store would be "among the finest in the Caribbean in terms of space and the selection available".

Originally scheduled to open in January, the first phase of the development is expected to open on March 29, and the second raft of stores about one month later.

Kirk Freeport's own fragrances store La Perfumerie will have a new location in the mall alongside two boutiques from Lladró and Lalique. The Lalique boutique will offer crystal, watches and jewellery, including the Lalique Stingray designed exclusively for Kirk Freeport. The main duty-free store will house a wide range of branded corners including Rolex and Breitling.

Destination merchandise outlet Del Sol will also be moving to Bayshore Mall.
