Hudson said this week it will open its second Hudson Nonstop concept, powered by Amazon’s Just Walk Out technology, at Chicago Midway International Airport (MDW).
Slated to open in mid-2021, the new Hudson Nonstop location follows the inaugural store opening at Dallas Love Field (DAL).
Leveraging Amazon’s Just Walk Out technology, Hudson Nonstop will allow travelers to enter the store with their credit card, pick up travel essentials ranging from snacks and goodies to trendy electronics and wellness items, and then leave the store, eliminating the need to wait in checkout lines or stopping to pay in-store.
“Hudson Nonstop is really all about the traveler – delivering what they want and how they want it,” said Brian Quinn, Hudson executive vice president and chief operating officer. “Midway is an ideal location for Hudson Nonstop given Chicago’s fast-paced lifestyle, and we know travelers there will enjoy just how easy it is to ‘grab and go’ in this contactless and checkout-free environment.”
The new Hudson Nonstop location was developed in partnership with the Chicago Department of Aviation (CDA) and Midway Partnership and will be the first-of-its-kind, checkout-free store at MDW.
“Offering safe and healthy travel experiences for our passengers is more important than ever, and we are delighted to add to Midway’s convenient, contactless options for shopping and dining with the arrival of Hudson Nonstop, powered by Amazon’s Just Walk Out technology,” said Jamie L. Rhee, commissioner of the CDA.
