WHSmith has continued its expansion the Spanish market with the opening of two stores at the AENA-operated Región de Murcia International Airport in Murcia.

One of the news, books and convenience stores is located airside.

WHSmith said it aimed to give the stores a “new look and contemporary feel” in line with AENA’s objectives for the new airport, which opened on 15 January.

The stores offer Spanish and international newspapers, magazines and books, as well as confectionery, drinks, sandwiches, travel essentials and digital accessories.

WHSmith Managing Director, International Phil McNally commented: “The two new stores at the international airport in Murcia mark another great contract win for our business in Spain and complements our existing operations in Alicante-Elche, Tenerife Sur and Adolfo Suarez Madrid-Barajas airports.

“We look forward to welcoming passengers to the stores to enjoy a fantastic range of products, as well as excellent customer service.”
