Absolut bars at Stockholm Arlanda
On November 28, 2008, two Absolut Vodka bars opened in Terminal 5 at Stockholm Arlanda. The bars have a lounge atmosphere, with a mixture of contemporary Swedish and international design, where passengers can enjoy a relaxing visit. Their drinks and simple dishes offer a contrast between exciting tastes and creative presentation.
Both bars are located in Terminal 5 − one near Gates 1-10 and the other near Gates 58-69 (Level 4).
Naked Juicebar opened on November 2
On November 2, 2008, Naked Juicebar added its name to the extensive list of restaurants and cafés at Stockholm Arlanda by opening a branch in SkyCity. Naked Juicebar is a Swedish concept that began in Australia − featuring exotic fruits blended with Swedish berries. You can buy fruit juices, smoothies, soups and sandwiches there.
New fashion shop in SkyCity
In spring 2008, Aiport Retail Sweden bought up Sky Shoes and Sky Watch, Jewellery and Accessories. After major renovation, the new Airport Fashion shop opened its doors in SkyCity early in August. The shop, which has a bright colour scheme and modern interior design, showcases such brands as Odd Molly, Sand, Inwear, Matinique, Gant, Long Island, Pret, Boomerang and Paul Smith.
2 x Robert's Coffee in Terminal 5
During the summer 2008, two branches of Robert's Coffee, operated by SSP, opened in the new part of Terminal 5. On Level 3 between Gates 29 and 31, a completely new unit opened. On Level 4, Café Granit was replaced by the Robert’s Coffee concept. Both units have been patterned according to the new image and design of the brand. Their product range includes a number of fair trade-labelled and organic products.
More attractive shopping in SkyCity
In 2007, shopping in SkyCity became more attractive and inviting, with new shops and renovated shop fronts. A new Pocket Shop, which sells books, opened. On the Plaza, the restaurants were renovated and new dishes and café selections were introduced. The souvenir shops Wasa Crystal and Airstop in SkyCity also renewed their décor and some of their product selection as well.
Changes in terminals 2 and 3
The restaurant on the upper level in Terminal 2, before the security checkpoint, was renovated in 2007 and is now called Buffé. Aside from its restaurant portion, Buffé also has a lounge with sofas and tables for comfortable, undisturbed relaxation.
After the security checkpoint on the upper level, the new bar and restaurant Etage also opened - furnished in a bright, luxurious setting and providing a view of the aircraft. The café in Terminal 3, Hava Java, added new, modern seating and other furniture.
Improvements in Terminal 4
The Travel Shop, in turn, changed during 2007 its selection in order to focus entirely on chocolate and other sweets in travel packages as well as gift-wrapped luxury chocolates.
Max, Sweden’s oldest hamburger chain, also opened here.
