Sweet success at Dubai Duty Free

The data, which was collated by Nestlé, is based on total Dubai Duty Free sales volume for the period January to December 2002.

In the twelve-month period, Dubai Duty Free sold the equivalent of over 3,341,250 million Kit Kat four finger bars, which works out at over 9,000 bars per day. To mark this worldwide record-breaking achievement, senior representatives of Nestlé presented Dubai Duty Free with a commemorative plaque.

Commenting on the achievement, Mr. Colm McLoughlin, Managing Director of Dubai Duty Free said: "Confectionary is a fast growing category at Dubai Duty Free and currently accounts for around 7 % of our total business. The volume of sales for Kit Kat is remarkable and we are delighted to be the world number one individual retail outlet for sales of Kit Kat."

Mr. Stewart Dryburgh, General Manager Nestlé International Travel Retail said: " We are delighted with the success of our Kit Kat sales in 2002 and wish to express our thanks to Colm and the team for their fantastic support. This has established a great platform for continual growth of our business in 2003 and beyond."
