Warwick, January 25, 2024 – The Rhode Island Airport Corporation is pleased to announce that its retail concessions partner, Paradies Lagardère, has opened Napatree Marketplace, a new retail shopping experience located at Rhode Island T.F. Green International Airport in the South Concourse near Gate 7. The store’s name pays tribute to Napatree Point, located in the Watch Hill District of Westerly, highlighting one of Rhode Island’s natural attractions. In addition to fashionable regional apparel, Napatree Marketplace showcases local gourmet snacks and local wines, vodkas, and beers from local distilleries and brewers so shoppers can bring a taste of Rhode Island with them.

Napatree Marketplace joins Bellevue Essentials, another new Paradies Lagardère retail concept located in the North Concourse that opened in 2023, named in recognition of Rhode Island’s iconic mansions along Newport’s Bellevue Avenue. Both retail stores offer travel essentials and locally focused products. A robust grab-and-go program in the stores also provides quality meals with sandwiches, salads, wraps, parfaits, beverages, and more.
Napatree Marketplace will be joined by several new retail and restaurant operations expected to open at Rhode Island T. F. Green International Airport over the coming months. Four (4) additional new concepts by Paradies-Lagardere are scheduled to open in the Spring of 2024, including No Boundaries, ’47 Brand sports apparel, Reveal Rhode Island, and a CNBC News store.
