QUÉBEC CITY, July 4, 2019 /CNW Telbec/ - Québec City Jean Lesage International Airport (YQB) is excited to announce the opening of a second Relay convenience store by international giant Paradies Lagardère, a banner well known to travellers.
"We are very pleased to be opening a second Relay store at YQB, this time in the public area. This is a first at the Québec City airport, since this type of business was previously only accessible in the secure area," said Stéphane Poirier, President and CEO of YQB. "Travellers now have access to the Relay experience before passing through security, as do all people who come to YQB to drop off or pick up a passenger and all airport site employees," he added.
Covering an area of 46 square metres, the Relay store in the public area is located between the check-in area and international arrivals, making it easily accessible to all passengers. The store provides a variety of travel essentials such as newspapers, magazines, books and snacks.
"Paradies Lagardère is very pleased to partner with YQB to bring the next generation Relay shop to further enhance the customer experience. Relay provides customers with a customer-friendly store design and a broad selection of travel essential basics, snacks, beverages, reading materials, and local gifts," said Gregg Paradies, President and CEO of Paradies Lagardère. "With Relay's global presence, travellers will recognize and appreciate the quality, convenience, and first-class service of this store."
