Hudson, a Dufry company and travel experience leader with more than 1,000 stores in airports, commuter hubs, landmarks, and tourist destinations across North America, has announced it has been awarded two stores at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) Terminal 3.
The move means the company becomes one of the first concessionaires to operate in Los Angeles World Airport’s (LAWA) brand-new terminal.
As part of a 10-year agreement with Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield (URW), Hudson will open Hudson Nonstop and Evolve by Hudson stores in Delta Air Lines’ state-of-the-art concourse, bringing together the best of travel convenience, specialty retail, and digital innovation. Hudson Nonstop, which will be powered by Amazon’s Just Walk Out technology and Amazon One, is expected to open within the next few months, while Evolve is planned for early 2023.
“Thank you to LAWA and URW for the opportunity to continue our longstanding partnership and introduce two of our most innovative concepts to the new terminal,” said Brian Quinn, EVP and Deputy CEO of Hudson. “Evolve and Hudson Nonstop combine experiential retailing with frictionless technology, providing travelers with the convenience and speed they are looking for, while allowing us to deliver our iconic Traveler’s Best Friend service in all new ways.”
