The Hawai‘i Department of Transportation (HDOT) has selected International Shoppes (iShoppes) to provide retail and in-bond duty free concessions at the Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL) and Kahului Airport (OGG).

Under a 10-year contract, New York-based iShoppes along with business partner Ben Crump Enterprises, will take over the shops that are currently operated by DFS Hawaii starting April 1 at both HNL and OGG. International Shoppes will also open two new spaces in the Mauka Concourse of Terminal 1 at HNL that will offer specialty retail. International Shoppes intends to renovate the existing DFS spaces, but will remain open for business while it finalizes its renovation and construction plans.

In addition to national and international brands, iShoppes plans to showcase products from across the state of Hawai‘i, which will provide opportunities for local businesses and artisans to reach new customers and gain international exposure.

International Shoppes also welcomes current DFS employees and other interested individuals to apply for job opportunities at its Honolulu and Kahului airport locations.

International Shoppes currently operates duty free and specialty retail stores in New York’s JFK International Airport, Washington, D.C.’s Dulles International Airport, Baltimore’s Thurgood Marshall Airport, Hartford’s Bradley International Airport and Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport.
