Hudson Group extends duty free presence at Newark Airport Terminal B

Roger Fordyce: Hudson Group will “transform travel retail with new duty free offerings as part of the Newark Dufry store concepts”

USA. Dufry company Hudson Group has been awarded the contract for six new duty free stores at Newark Liberty International Airport Terminal B. The new agreement will take Hudson’s space to over 7,500sq ft, in joint venture with Byrd Retail Group.

Newark Dufry Shopping will be updated to feature design elements related to New Jersey, with inspiration from key areas including Elizabeth, the Ironbound area of Newark, the boardwalks along more than 100 miles of coastline and agricultural touches from the Garden State’s farmlands.

The six new stores will open by mid-2020, offering cosmetics & fragrances, fashion watches, jewellery, sunglasses, tobacco products, plus wines & spirits.

Hudson has a long-standing presence in both New Jersey and New York including operations at Newark Liberty International, New York John F. Kennedy International, LaGuardia Airport, Atlantic City International Airport and Stewart International Airport. Hudson also operates in the greater New York and New Jersey area in the Port Authority Bus Terminal, Grand Central Terminal, New York Penn Station, the United Nations Gift Centre and Empire State Building in New York City.

“Hudson is honoured to be part of the continued success at Newark Liberty International Airport as we transform travel retail with new duty free offerings as part of the Newark Dufry store concepts,” said Hudson Group CEO Roger Fordyce. “In addition to expanding our strong relationship with our landlord, Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield, and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, we are excited to deliver a leading collection of duty free shopping options for domestic and international customers travelling through Newark Airport.”

As reported, The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and concessions manager Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield Airports has also revealed a new line-up of speciality retail and dining brands for Newark Liberty International Terminal B. The offer, which carries a strong Jersey influence, covers 22 outlets and over 25,000sq ft (see video below).
