Sydney, September 16, 2009 - The Nuance Group Australia, The Wiggles and Sydney Airport Corporation today announced a new retail concept to be launched at Sydney International Airport in November. The store brings together the best merchandise from Australia’s most loved entertainers in a format that captures the vibrancy and fun of the Wiggles and their friends.
The 80 square metre Wiggles Store will be located in the new Departures Precinct (after Customs) of Sydney’s International Terminal.
The store will be a highlight of the international travel experience for any pre-schooler as well as an excellent location for their families to buy treats for the plane or gifts for those back home. The range will include entertainment, toys and games, homewares, books, stationery, clothing and fashion accessories all at tax-free prices.
Mike Conway, Managing Director, The Wiggles Pty Ltd says, “The Wiggles Store is the first of its kind in the world. We’re thrilled to be able to offer a one-stop-shop for parents and children to purchase the latest Wiggles products, watch Wiggles DVDs on plasma televisions and enjoy a truly Wiggles experience at Sydney Airport. I’m sure parents will be just as excited as their children.”
David Odgers, Director for The Nuance Group at Sydney Airport, commented, “This is a fabulous and innovative retail offer. We are excited and proud to bring this unique concept to Sydney Airport which we are sure will be a big hit with customers.”
Derek Larsen, General Manager for Retail at Sydney Airport added, “We are pleased to add the world’s first Wiggles Store to Sydney Airport as part of the International Terminal Re-development. The children’s market is often overlooked by airports but we recognise and value all of our travelling customers, even the very little ones. The Wiggles are one of Australia’s most unique and recognisable entertainment brands and will be a wonderful addition to the Sydney Airport travel experience.”
