Chicago Midway International Airport (MDW) welcomed three new retail stores to its concessions lineup this week, including two Hudson retail stores located in Baggage Claim and Concourse C, as well as an airport outpost of the renowned Chicago-based Fannie May chocolate and candy shop In Concourse A. All three stores will be operated by Hudson (Avolta) and are part of the Chicago Department of Aviation (CDA) and Midway Partnership concessions overhaul, which has added 70 new dining and retail brands to MDW’s terminals since 2017.
“The transformation at Chicago Midway continues to evolve and deliver offerings for every kind of guest at the airport, making each experience unique,” said Sammy Patel, CEO of Midway Partnership. “The mix of amenities ensures everyone has what they need. Our focus remains on creating a seamless, stress-free travel experience while ensuring passengers feel connected to Chicago’s rich culture and flavors. Whether travelers need last-minute travel items or want to bring home a taste of Chicago, the new additions continue to provide a world-class concessions experience.”
“I’m proud to welcome Fannie May and these new Hudson shops to our vibrant concessions program at Midway,” said CDA commissioner Jamie L. Rhee. “By bringing in concessions offerings from diverse, local ownership groups, we are investing in Chicago’s communities while working to create an enhanced travel experience for all passengers.”
“I join Commissioner Rhee and CDA in welcoming Fannie May and two new Hudson shops to Midway’s growing concessions program,” said Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson. “These openings represent our commitment to equitably growing opportunities to do business with our airports and ensure that Midway and O’Hare reflect the spirit of our great city.”
