The Paradies family was just starting its airport business as Gregg Paradies was graduating from college. He went to work for Macy's in its buying office for a few years before returning to the family business. As airport retail evolved, Paradies became known for bringing brands like Brooks Brothers and Brighton on board. Now, in addition to getting into food and beverage, Paradies Lagardere is developing retail stores that could have a mix of local, regional and national brands within a single location, switching concepts in and out as they ebb and flow.
