Beginning today, travelers will be able to experience Hudson’s
new stores, one pre-security and three post-security, as they
travel through the reimagined, state-of-the-art Concourse
A/Terminal Plaza operated by the Salt Lake City Department of
Airports (SLCDA).
Hudson’s new stores coincide with the completion of the first
phase of The New SLC, and were included in Hudson’s eight-year
contract awarded by SLC in 2018 as part of the redevelopment
program. When the redevelopment program is complete, Hudson will
operate 13 new stores which represents a customized portfolio of
popular local brands and iconic national and international
concepts. These new stores will expand Hudson’s footprint by nearly
6,000 incremental square feet, solidifying the Traveler’s Best
Friend’s unmatched travel retail excellence in the SLC market.
“The opening of the new terminal and concessions at Salt Lake
City International Airport is an important event because it
represents our collective efforts as an industry to rebuild
stronger than ever after COVID-19,” said Roger Fordyce, Chief
Executive Officer of Hudson. “Together with our partners at the
SLCDA, our four new stores incorporate the highest level of safety
SLC travelers are looking for without sacrificing the culture,
spirit and ingenuity the capital city is known for.”
Each of Hudson’s new stores have been retrofitted with social
distancing in mind, including the presence of self-checkout at two
stores, and boast an extensive selection of PPE offerings from
Hudson’s proprietary “Traveler’s Best” product line.
In addition to health and safety products and a wide assortment
of travel necessities, locals and tourists alike will delight in
fan-favorite food brands Taffytown and Cox Honeyland, whose
offerings are perfect for a travel snack or a taste of Utah at
home. For those travelers looking to bring a little piece of the
capital city home with them, Lazy One presents travelers with
whimsical gift and souvenir options.

categories – Media, Essentials, Marketplace & Destination.
