Travel convenience store operator Hudson will be opening two stores at Los Angeles International Airport and one, called Hudson Nonstop, will feature Amazon's Just Walk Out cashierless technology.

The store, along with a second store called Evolve, will be located at LAX Terminal 3, according to a press release.

The news comes fast on the heels of Star Concessions Ltd. announcing its Grab & Fly store, at the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, which offers the Amazon check-out experience.

Hudson, a Dufry company, operates more than 1,000 stores in airports, tourist destinations, commuter hubs and landmarks. The stores are part of a 10-year deal with Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield.

Hudson Nonstop, powered by Amazon's Just Walk Out and Amazon One, is expected to open within the next few months, while Evolve is planned for early 2023.

"Thank you to LAWA and URW for the opportunity to continue our longstanding partnership and introduce two of our most innovative concepts to the new terminal," Brian Quinn, EVP and deputy CEO of Hudson, said in the release. "Evolve and Hudson Nonstop combine experiential retailing with frictionless technology, providing travelers with the convenience and speed they are looking for, while allowing us to deliver our iconic Traveler's Best Friend service in all new ways."
