Hudson Group has announced the opening of ATL Shops by Hudson, the world’s largest Hudson store at Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

The 5,000sq ft retail space at the world’s busiest airport is dedicated to modern visuals, new products and shop-in-shop experiences with proprietary brands Ink by Hudson and Sweet Indulgences.

The store design of ATL Shops by Hudson is part of the travel retailer’s overall growth strategy. This is to convert and modernise its travel essentials and convenience locations to Hudson stores.

Part of a joint-venture mid-term refurbishment plan for Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport’s Terminal F, the store openings will help deliver an elevated retail experience for travellers and improve efficacy.

EXPANSION PROJECT

They are part of a multibillion-dollar renovation and expansion project (ATLNext), expected to be complete by 2031. As part of the Terminal F retail revitalisation, Hudson Group will also open Tumi and 5th & Sunset later this summer, joining Kiehl’s and MAC.

Director of Concessions Management, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, Chilly Ewing said: “We are grateful for Hudson Group’s support in the mid-term refurbishment plan and we look forward to welcoming the addition of the new 5,000 sq ft ATL Shops by Hudson — the world’s largest Hudson store concept — into our retail portfolio.”

Hudson Group President and CEO Joseph DiDomizio added: “Our goal is to meet the changing needs and preferences of customers travelling through the world’s busiest airport by providing them with a variety of exceptional retail offerings.

“Hudson Group is eager to continue enriching the retail programme with the world’s largest Hudson store at the world’s busiest airport— Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport.”

Hudson Group became the operator of World Duty Free stores at Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport after Dufry acquired World Duty Free Group in 2015.
