Gelatissimo will open a store later this year at the upcoming Brisbane International Airport Dining Precinct, in partnership with Emirates Leisure Retail.

The store will sit within the Emirates Leisure Retail Dining Precinct, a food and beverage destination mixing established and emerging brands, designed to appeal to both international and domestic travellers.

ELR has positioned Gelatissimo as a key addition to the precinct because of its strong brand equity, operational efficiency, and proven performance in high-footfall environments.

Anthony Shina, chief development officer at Gelatissimo, said “The expansion into Brisbane International Airport reflects our ongoing focus on growth in high-performing, strategically aligned locations.

“High-traffic retail environments such as the airports are a key part of our development pipeline, offering strong visibility, consistent demand, and exposure to a global customer base who are accustomed to our quality product.”

The chain is investing in scalable formats suited to travel retail, tourism precincts, and strategic franchise growth channels.
