The first new shop will open in April at the airport of Alicante and serve thousands of traveling golfers visiting the Spanish coastal region every year. The expansion program continues with the fifth terminal outlet opening of the company in Palma to choose a growing number of British, German and Scandinavian golfers who want to play on the island.
“Alicante has been one of the most popular club destinations in recent years and Palma has been exceptionally busy last year,” said CEO Tony Judge. “No other club rental invests in locations at the same level as ClubstoHire.com and the new stores create up to ten jobs to strengthen the local economy,” he added.
