Hudson (NYSE: HUD), a travel experience leader with more than
1,000 stores in airports, commuter hubs, landmarks and tourist
destinations across North America, today reaffirmed its commitment

The vending machines, which are ADA compliant, will be
introduced to leading airport destinations across North America
starting in late June. By the end of the summer, Hudson plans to
introduce vending machines in 27 of the nation’s leading airports
and the Houston Space Center, making safe travel an attainable part
of every traveler’s journey.
The machines will be located in pre-security locations, offering
a convenient and seamless shopping experience for travelers and
essential airport workers who may have forgotten their PPE at home,
or are looking for additional ways to keep themselves and their
families healthy and safe.
Each vending machine will be stocked with a variety of essential
products which can be purchased with a credit card, allowing Hudson
an opportunity to provide a 24/7 retailing experience. To ensure
that Hudson is also promoting a sanitary shopping experience, the
vending machine’s touchscreen will be sealed with an anti-microbial
shield that eliminates germs on the surface for three to four
months before replacement, and social distancing floor decals
around the machine to maintain crowd control.
“With the gradual return of passengers to airports across North
America following COVID-19, we’re noticing a behavioral change in
travelers which puts health and safety at the forefront of the
travel experience,” said Brian Quinn, EVP and Chief Operating
Officer of Hudson. “To meet these expectations, we’ve developed an
extensive product offering as part of our PPE vending machines that
delivers traditional and technology-focused health and safety
options.”
Travelers familiar with Hudson’s proprietary brand line,
“Traveler’s Best,” will be pleased to see that the line has
expanded to now include PPE, cleaning products, and Ultraviolet C
(“UV-C”) LED light sanitizing technology. The new products,
designed to keep travelers safe from the start of their journey
until they arrive at their travel destination, can be found in both
the new vending machines, and at Hudson’s travel convenience
stores, and include:
- Individual and bulk packaged face masks, including disposable,
KN95, and cloth options
- Individual 2 oz. and 4 oz. hand sanitizers, and bulk hand
sanitizer wipes
- All-in-one hygiene kits
- Nitrile gloves and multi-use thermometers
- Portable and rechargeable UV-C sanitizers for mobile devices
and personal items
In certain airports, travelers will also be able to purchase
name brand electronics and travel essentials from the vending
machines, including charging cables and wireless headphones, which
will allow Hudson to stay true to being the all-encompassing travel
partner.
