Hudson-Sunglass Hut Agreement Renewed
)
Dufry´s affiliate Hudson has extended its alliance with Sunglass Hut in a deal that enables it to operate new standalone Sunglass Hut travel retail stores exclusively in the US and Canada.
Hudson currently runs 6 of Sunglass Hut’s 32 standalone travel retail locations in North America and more than 50 Sunglass Hut on-the-go corners in North America.
In 2020, Hudson and Sunglass Hut partnered to create an integrated brand experience through branded on-the-go corners in Hudson’s travel convenience stores. Since their launch, the corners have provided travelers with an immediate and cross-category shopping experience. The Hudson-operated stores will meticulously emulate the Sunglass Hut experience.

Each store will boast an extensive selection of styles and designs to allow travelers to explore new brands and find their go-to favorites. This includes some of Sunglass Hut’s most recognizable and powerful brands, such as Oakley and Ray-Ban.
Mobile POS and other frictionless checkout capabilities will also be available, making it even faster and more convenient for travelers to purchase their premium eyewear.
