1982
The Karamichalis brothers embark on a new venture, founding Sunny Radio. They begin by trading with international ship crews, a tradition still at the core of our operations today. Just a few years later, in 1986, our first retail location opens its doors in Antwerp’s bustling Sint-Jansplein.
1999
Sunny Radio undergoes a change, transforming into Sunny Europe and moving to its present location in the Port of Antwerp. This new location boasts a 1600 m² showroom and a 5000 m² warehouse, solidifying our position as the largest maritime duty-free entity in Europe.
2012
We unveil a stunning showroom makeover, redefining the retail shopping experience. Luxury and fashion brands join the journey, offering customers an unforgettable experience of excellence and innovation. This year, we further solidified our commitment by achieving the AEO certification. The certification sets us apart from competitors.
