Hudson, a travel experience leader with more than 1,000 stores in airports, commuter hubs, and tourist destinations across North America, has entered into an agreement to operate and develop Starbucks locations in U.S. airports.
Hudson’s first two Starbucks licensed stores are set to open at pre and post-security locations in LaGuardia Airport.
“We’ve worked very hard to provide travelers with the leading brands they’re used to enjoying, whether at home or heading to their next destination,” said Evan Schut, Sr. V.P., Food & Beverage of Hudson. “The addition of Starbucks as our premium coffee brand is the natural progression as we work to elevate the guest experience in our new food and beverage locations.”
Each Hudson-operated location will provide the Starbucks experience. Travelers can earn and redeem Starbucks Rewards, order and pay ahead of time through the Starbucks app, and pick up in-store.
“As Starbucks opens up the Travel Channel to multiple operators, we are excited to have Hudson join our list of partners,” said Henry Klein, Starbucks Travel Channel.
