East Rutherford, N.J., September 22, 2022 – Hudson, a Dufry company and travel experience leader with more than 1,000 stores in airports, commuter hubs, landmarks, and tourist destinations across North America, today strengthened its long-standing partnership with the Clark County Department of Aviation, securing a contract extension at Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) through 2038.

The new contract extends a partnership dating back to 2003, underscoring Hudson’s continued adaptability in evolving with trends and exceeding the needs of travelers, with LAS serving a record 51.5 million passengers in 2019. Now expanding its commitment even further, Hudson will invest significant capital in transforming its retail and digital portfolio at LAS.

This reimagined travel retail experience will deliver operational excellence in a way that only Hudson can – through industry-leading service, technology offerings, store design, product assortment, and an innovative travel convenience and specialty portfolio. 

As part of this, Hudson will convert 17 of its 31 existing stores into all new concepts in 2022 and 2023, increasing its travel convenience and specialty retail footprint and complementing its current premium brand offering, including duty free. The new stores will feature striking design elements inspired by “The City of Lights,” additional product selection from local brand partners like Ethel M, and expanded digital touchpoints.

Red By Dufry, Hudson’s new loyalty program, will be available in select stores so that travelers can engage with Hudson before, during, and after they travel and receive exclusive benefits every time they shop. Hudson will also increase the presence of digital-first payment options, which will allow team members to spend more time assisting travelers. This includes doubling the number of checkout registers and introducing mobile POS and other frictionless checkout capabilities for the first time – because Hudson knows what it means to deliver service with speed and convenience.
