While Dubai Duty Free Opens Hatta Border Shop, Speed Trading Seminar is arriving to Dubai.

July 12, 2012 - PRLog -- Dubai Duty Free’s first foray into border shop retailing was firmly underscored on Thursday with the official inauguration of its Hatta border shop.

Located next to the Customs and Immigration offices at the Hatta-Oman border, the new retail unit covers some 42 square metres and provides travelers with a 24 hour service.

Speaking at the official inauguration, which was attended by senior government officials, Colm McLoughlin, executive vice-chairman of Dubai Duty Free, said: “When we were first approached with the idea of establishing a border shop here at the Hatta-Oman border, we thought that the timing was good as there are plans in place to expand capacity at the border check points. So, while we have started with a relatively small retail unit, we would definitely be happy to grow this in line with the plans that are in place.
