Brookstone opens new concept store in Salt Lake City

Travelers dashing through the Salt Lake City International airport in need of travel-friendly clothing and gear have a new oasis courtesy of Brookstone.



The specialty retailer unveiled a new format, called Carry On, at the SLC Delta Terminal. The store offers the "best brands in travel gear,” according to the company.



"Whether you're traveling for business, pleasure or adventure, Carry On by Brookstone has smart, innovative items to make your trip more successful," said Brookstone CEO Tom Via. "The clothing you find will be packable and travel-friendly. It will also be on-trend and weather-smart. For instance, one of our featured apparel lines, ExOfficio, can literally be folded into a tiny ball and remain wrinkle free -- stylish and low maintenance -- now that makes travel easier. Our luggage, packs and wallets are simply beautiful, and aren't readily available at most airport retailers. Our goal is to make Carry On an easy and exciting stop with an element of surprise for every traveler's journey."



Brookstone operates 218 stores in shopping malls and airports across the U.S. and Puerto Rico, as well the e-commerce site Brookstone.com.
