Shilla Duty Free, South Korea's No. 2 duty-free shop chain operator, said Monday that it has opened its first overseas store in Singapore Changi Airport.

The company, which is the travel retail arm of South Korea's top conglomerate Samsung Group, said the shop is located at the third terminal of Changi Airport, and sells handbags, wallets and accessories.

Shilla Duty Free had obtained the rights to open and operate its first and second overseas stores earlier last year at Changi Airport.

Its second duty free outlet will open soon also in the third terminal, the company added.

"We are pleased to open our first overseas shop at the center of Changi Airport, a hub airport in Asia," said an official from Shilla Duty Free. "We will step up our efforts to expand overseas business."
