The Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport has added even more new stores as it revamps its retail lineup.

        In its monthly June meeting, the Kenton County Airport Board approved contracts with four companies to rent and manage the 19 stores.

        Those stores will include redesigned newsstands (some of which will have a CNBC cable news network theme), a music/DVD shop, as well as a Brooks Brothers men's and women's clothing store, a Borders' books (the first store in the chain to be located in an airport) and a PGA Tour shop.

        One of the stores will be called Buckeyes and Bluegrass and will have a regional theme; another will feature prepackaged regional foods. Yet another concept will include local retail items from the Cincinnati Zoo, the Newport Aquarium and the Kentucky Speedway, along with other local attractions.

        The contract process has meant that previous newsstand operators WHSmith and HMS Host will be leaving.

        Airport commercial and business development manager Michael Mullaney said the new concepts will be phased in over the next two years, with the final new outlet finished by the first quarter
