Boots has opened a store in Bristol Airport as part of the airport's improvements to its customer experience and facilities.
Located in the airside departure lounge, the new retail store will offer holiday essentials such as sun protection, insect repellent and other travel basics. Lunch on the go with Boots Meal Deal selection will also be on offer, in addition to offering a wide range of cosmetics from brands including No. 7, Maybelline and Rimmell.
Floss Walton-Bateson, Boots Travel managing director, said: “We are delighted to open our new Boots store at Bristol Airport, offering an amazing breadth and range of health and beauty products including sun preps, healthcare, toiletries and cosmetics, whilst not forgetting our ever popular Boots Meal Deal. We look forward to welcoming passengers in to our store and also offering our great order and collect proposition.

“This is amazing addition to the Travel Retail portfolio and we are delighted to partner with the team at Bristol Airport to bring our brand to life.”
Dave Lees, chief executive at Bristol Airport, said: “This is an exciting day for Bristol Airport and I am delighted to open the Boots store in the departure lounge, as we continue to improve customer facilities. The major investment in the enhancements of the Airport shows a very clear sign of the confidence our commercial partners have in Bristol Airport and vice versa.
“Our customers’ holidays start in our departure lounge, and it is very important for us to provide them with the best possible experience. We understand that our leisure and business customers have high expectations when travelling through Bristol Airport and we will continue to strive to meet their requirements. We are very confident that the investment and redevelopment in our departure lounge will provide a greater passenger experience as we offer new places to shop, eat, drink and relax before you fly.”
The airport recently opened a new Caffè Nero store following an investment of more than £500,000. Last year the airport began a £4m refurbishment of its departure lounge where it detailed the planned arrival of the Boots store.
The investment also promised a refresh of the airport’s world duty free store, a new-look bar and restaurant and improvements made throughout the winter to the design of existing retail units.
