Davidoff partnered with Oliver McMillan to integrate Davidoff’s new retail concept into the luxury retail and high end cuisine, shopping and dining district in the heart of Buckhead. The new Flagship Store features a luxurious environment and guest experience covering nearly 3,000 square feet, split into five carefully designed areas. Throughout each space, the interior and architectural design is inspired by the traditions of the Dominican Republic, where much of Davidoff’s production and many of its employees are based.

“We are delighted to open up a new ‘Davidoff of Geneva — since 1911’ Flagship Store in Buckhead,” says Jim Young, President of Davidoff of Geneva North America. “This new store features a sizeable walk-in humidor, a beautiful retail space where we display a selection of the finest accessories, and an inviting 1,000+ sq ft cigar lounge, all brought together through our new global retail design concept. It also includes a VIP member’s lounge and a conference room for clients wishing to conduct meetings in a premium cigar environment”.

The Davidoff Flagship Store location is complemented by 275,000 sq ft of luxury and best in class retail, luxury residential, fine dining and entertainment in the newly opened Oliver McMillan luxury-shopping destination. Spanning six city blocks in historic Buckhead Village, Buckhead Atlanta is designed to fit seamlessly into the existing area with pedestrian friendly streets.

A Century of Davidoff

Henri Davidoff, who emigrated from Kiev to Switzerland at a time of political unrest, opened his first store in Geneva in 1911, laying the foundations for today’s worldwide network of 65 Davidoff Flagship Stores. Henri’s son, Zino Davidoff, learned the trade from the ground up. He resided for several years in Central and South America to deepen his knowledge. In 1930, he returned to Switzerland and thereafter successfully managed the business over four decades. Zino Davidoff transferred the family business to the Oettinger Group in 1970.
