Hudson (East Rutherford, N.J.) has announced and debuted the first of its new, multi-brand automated retail vending machines, according to a press release.

The automated retail concept aims to create a contactless, 24/7 destination. By partnering with a mix of globally recognized and local brands, travelers will have a range of specialty retail products to browse and shop.

Brian Quinn, Executive VP and COO of Hudson, says: “Automated retail provides us with an avenue to recreate the strong sense of place associated with our stores within the confines of a smaller, non-traditional footprint – all while capitalizing on the dwell time, exposure and convenience the airport environment affords.”

After launching the first vending machine at Myrtle Beach International Airport (MYR) March 26, the company plans to continue rolling out the concept to other travel destinations like Chicago Midway International Airport (MDW) and Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport (SJC) in the coming months.
