Top 45 Retail Trends in April

From Vintage Duty Free Retailers to Updated Cookie Recipes

— April 28, 2024 — Business
The April 2024 retail round-up calls attention to some interesting airport store innovations. Travel retail leader ARI, for instance, announced the opening of its newest Preloved Boutique at Lisbon Airport, ensuring that travelers can purchase vintage clothing duty-free. Elsewhere, Okanagan + Co spotlights locally-made merchandise and apparel at Kelowna International Airport while Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam has vowed to bring in more luxury brands to its Lounge 2.

Beyond airport businesses, the April 2024 retail round-up highlights some exciting brand expansions. Luxury perfume and candle brand The Maker, for instance, has partnered with Sephora Canada to make its exquisite offerings available to Canadians. Lush, on the other hand, goes the thematic route with a fun-loving Easter Collection.

In terms of retail technology, the list features products like Toshiba's Vision Kiosk which can identify items without barcodes efficiently and securely.
