DFS Group has revamped its lineup of duty-free stores at Singapore Cruise Centre (SCC) since being awarded SCC’s first master duty-free and general merchandise concession in December 2016.
The contract consolidates existing duty-free concessions across six categories including wines, spirits and tobacco, beauty and confectionary.
The DFS stores are located at SCC’s Tanah Merah and HarbourFront terminals and span seven outlets, with the main retail space at both the arrival and departure areas being expanded to 6,000 square feet to accommodate over 6.3 million ferry passengers and 560,000 cruise passengers annually.
“It has been an honour working with SCC for the past two decades and we are delighted to be continuing our partnership for the next five years,” said Wilcy Wong, group managing director, DFS, Singapore and Indonesia.
The DFS HarbourFront departure store also houses an exclusive Whiskey Bar and Cocktail Bar, where guests can sample a range of whiskies or indulge in specialty cocktails made from fresh ingredients by in-house bartenders.
“The opening of the new DFS stores at SCC marks a strong relationship between DFS and SCC. Passengers at our terminals are now able to experience an array of retail offerings with more store space, new retail concepts, as well as new brands, which hand in hand work to elevate the overall shopping experience,” said Christina Siaw, CEO of SCC.
