Duty Free Americas has announced the opening of its new LEGO specialty store at John F Kennedy International Airport Terminal 8.
The opening was celebrated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by leaders from DFA, LEGO and JFK. It follows successful LEGO stores opened at Dallas Fort Worth and Miami International Airports.
“We are delighted to officially open the doors to this new specialty store, offering travelers an interactive and engaging shopping experience at JFK Terminal 8. The LEGO Group has chosen DFA once again to bring their iconic brand to a key US airport, and we are proud to continue our long-term partnership with both the airport and the LEGO Group,” said Joseph Falic, vice president of Duty Free Americas, who attended the ceremony.
DFA also announced it has acquired the LEGO store at San Francisco International Airport, subject to closing in Q2 2026. The LEGO store is part of a US$125 million commercial redevelopment of the terminal in partnership with terminal commercial operator ASUR Airports and American Airlines.
The store features a wide range of LEGO sets, including exclusive airport products. It also has demonstration tables for hands-on play.
“The LEGO Store is a great addition to JFK T8 and reflects the innovation guiding the terminal’s ongoing commercial transformation,” said Ian Carter, vice president, Asur Airports.
More than 60 new concessions will be featured at Terminal 8 when the commercial program is completed in 2026. The commercial redevelopment follows a US$400m expansion and modernization of the terminal, completed in 2022 and led by American Airlines, as part of the Port Authority’s US$19bn transformation of JFK.
