DFP WORLD will make history by opening Zimbabwe’s only duty free store with 100% brand-approved products, authorised directly by global Maisons and brand owners.
The concession will be operated by Duty Free Stores of Zimbabwe Plc (Ltd) and supported by Afrique Duty-Free, DFP WORLD’s Namibian investment arm.
The store is under construction at Harare International Airport’s new terminal, in a prime location next to the main food court and the primary aerobridges in the sterile zone when it opens in
about 8–10 weeks.
This project ends years of fragmented practices, introducing a compliant, transparent and luxury-standard model that will redefine Zimbabwe’s travel retail.
“DFP WORLD is the first operator in Zimbabwe to work directly with the brands, with full permission and approval — transparent, compliant, and disciplined,” said DFP WORLD CEO Matin A.M.S.
“To deliver this transformation, we have selected a global System Provider as our partner, the best in the world to ensure standards are upheld. This is not just a store opening — it is the structural transformation of Zimbabwe’s Travel Retail & Luxury Landscape.”
DFP WORLD partners with a leading Travel Retail System Provider, whose name will be announced during or after the TFWA World Exhibition & Conference in Cannes.
With investment anchored in Namibia and execution in Zimbabwe, DFP WORLD is setting the Gold Standard for compliance and luxury duty free in West and Southern Africa.
