Hudson to Open Two New Stores at LAX

Hudson has been awarded two stores at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) Terminal 3, becoming 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 two stores totaling more than 3,100 square feet – equivalent to 288 m² – in Delta Air Lines’ state-of-the-art concourse, bringing together the best of travel convenience, specialty retail, and digital innovation.

• Evolve by Hudson – a one-stop shop specifically tailored to the local market. At LAX, travelers will be delighted to find shop-in-shops featuring products from several categories, including luggage, accessories, writing instruments and toys. In collaboration with “CRAFTED at the Port of Los Angeles,” local products from up-and-coming artisans will be featured, bringing the best of LA to the airport. Self-checkout and mobile POS are also available for quick checkout.
• Hudson Nonstop – a travel convenience concept powered by Amazon’s Just Walk Out technology and Amazon One, a fast and frictionless way to, enter, identify and pay with the palm of a hand.

The Hudson Nonstop shop is expected to open within the next few months, while Evolve is planned for early 2023.

The addition of Evolve and Hudson Nonstop to LAX T3 furthers Hudson’s expansion of two of its most notable concepts, while also growing Hudson’s retail footprint in the Los Angeles market. Currently, Hudson has 44 stores in eight of the ten terminals at LAX, including Tom Bradley International Terminal (TBIT). With these two new stores, Hudson continues to deliver an unparalleled and dynamic brand portfolio to LAX travelers, which exceeded 48 million in 2021.
