Some travelers prefer seeing sites, but as DFS Group knows, some prefer seeing a good sale. The world's largest travel retailer, DFS (Duty Free Shoppers) runs 150 stores, located primarily in the Asia/Pacific region and on the US West Coast. DFS is famous for its airport stores, but it also runs about a dozen Galleria stores in downtown and resort locations as well as onboard cruise line retailers Miami Cruiselines. DFS handles the non-European operations of rapidly growing cosmetics chain Sephora. In the US the company launched new concept stores Synchrony and Solstice, selling watches and sunglasses, respectively. French conglomerate LVMH owns 61% of the company. Co-founder Robert Miller owns the other 39%.
