We are proud to have unveiled a new standalone Spectrum boutique at Québec City Jean Lesage International Airport (YQB). This is our second concession at the airport, with our commitment to enhancing the traveller experience in Québec to the forefront. A shared ethos of delivering distinctive service tailored to actual needs has underpinned the strong partnership between ARI and Québec City Jean Lesage International Airport (YQB) since the former began operating Québec Duty Free in 2017.

Located right after the security checkpoint, near gate 32, Spectrum, the signature sunglass store concept, offers travellers a premium retail experience in a modern boutique setting, with many leading international brands including Ray-Ban, Oakley, Tom Ford, Prada, Gucci, Saint Laurent, Carrera, Maui Jim, Vogue, Polaroid, and Guess. The decision to open Spectrum in a new standalone store reflects the strong recent growth of the sunglasses category and facilitates an improved shopping experience for travellers, no matter where they are headed.

The ARI North America team joined the YQB team at the new Spectrum boutique to mark the official store opening on Thursday, July 10. The opening was celebrated with travellers in typical joyful fashion throughout the day, from live music, mocktails, and canapés to exclusive gifts and even a special swing at the store entrance so travellers could have the all-important “Instagrammable moment.”
