Univision Communications Inc. has announced plans to open two retail and specialty stores in early 2015 in the newly-redesigned Terminal 2 of the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).

This marks the first concessions awarded to Paradies in Los Angeles and the first Univision stores to be opened nationwide. “Our first branded store experience at Los Angeles International Airport with an industry leader like Paradies speaks to our growth and brand affinity in the #1 Hispanic market in the U.S.,” said Rick Alessandri, EVP, Enterprise Development, Univision Communications Inc.The two Univision-themed stores will feature an array of products that include snacks and beverages that represent Latin America as well as Univision-branded products and local, national and international news. Each location will also feature original programming in English and Spanish throughout the day on large media screens, including Noticiero Univisión.
