More than 50,000 sq. ft. of redesigned retail space has opened at Toronto Pearson International Airport’s Terminal 3 in an initiative designed to upgrade the passenger experience.

Located just past security screening, the new area offers passengers everything from places to relax and recharge to places to eat and shop. Partners include HMSHost, OTG, Dufry Duty-Free and Paradies Lagardère Travel Retail, as well as such eateries as Beerhive, Smoke’s Burritorie, Smashburger and Shanghai 360.

The heart of the new space incorporates a large skylight bringing natural light into an area filled with comfortable seating, charging stations integrated into tables, LED trees, and other whimsical elements aimed at helping ease the stress of travel.
