I only came here to buy something so I could get change to tip the person who assisted me. Once again, airport prices are ridiculously high and completely unnecessary. We need to protest these prices because this is getting out of hand! My suggestion: buy your snacks and food BEFORE you get to the airport. You can bring food through security, so I'm definitely doing that from now on. I'll also bring extra snacks just in case the plane gets stuck on the tarmac. Once that plane leaves the gate and you're sitting there delayed, you can't just get off to grab something to eat. Come prepared, save your money, and bring your own food and snacks. These airport prices are NOT it! read more

Hudson News - Checkout - Newspapers & Magazines Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Crappy, overpriced food. Terminal C in O'Hare is a food desert. Nothing worth eating here. $20 for three 'pretzel sliders' and a Coke Zero - intrinsic value maybe a couple of bucks. Disappointed - but when my blood sugar drops, I can't afford to be picky. Blech. read more

Hudson News used to be a trap for me when traveling. An airport standard that I could rely upon to grab something last minute or just get a $10 snack if I was desperate. That's still the idea but now, even with staff, it is overwhelmingly self check out. It's not only self check out, you have to register, create a profile to even check out. It's a difficult experience. I've walked out twice and put my items back. They apparently offer a military and vet discount, but only a few employees and they're not typically around to let you know or help you apply it. I'm guessing Hudson was bought out and transitioned to this horrific business model and it's a terrible experience now. Every once in a while you'll come across a very helpful store employee but that's not the norm. read more

This Hudson News is like all of the rest of them. They are well stocked and overpriced to the max. They don't care because they know that you need the item and can't get it cheaper anywhere else at the airport. So you buy it and grumble about it. I was in the same predicament and needed Advil and they had a tiny bottle at an atrocious price but at least I knew relief was on its way. My daughter wanted a snack also. Just the way it is. The store was over packed, everything was too close together so that you had to squeeze by. But it did seem clean enough. The staff aren't the friendliest but I understand. Glad they are there. read more

Great store with lots of stuff you need and don't need! Haha. Convenient and reasonably priced considering the venue and location. The selection and Inventory is quite fun and surprisingly diverse with things like meds, personal care items, diapers and the goods to go along and more that you might expect like food and drink and snacks and news, magazine and books, etc. read more

This Hudson News had all the snacks I wanted for my long flight, so I was quite pleased with the selection. There was a cashier available to assist with checkout, but I opted to use their self checkout option. The store was clean and organized. What I found out in hindsight was my flaming hot pretzels only had a few days left before they expired. I didn't get around to finishing them, so they expired. It would be great if the staff could restock products to ensure freshness. That was my only negative feedback. read more

Really upset. I bought wrong charger and 15 minutes after purchase I asked if I could return and purchase what I needed, which was $10 more. They would not let me. Last time I will purchase from them and I will let friends and family know. Purchased at stand right before gate B22. They don't deserve a rating but i had to give one star to post. ​ read more

Hit 3 different Hudson news in C terminal. Rudest folks. Couldn't be bothered to put the cell phone down long enough to ring up a phone charger. The one gentleman with the shiny grill directed me to the self scan on a item, they didn't bother to add into inventory. Rang up 0.00. The one lady that finally rang me up didn't want you be bothered. I won't ever waste my time with any Hudson News locations going forward. read more

Hudson News are typically seen at most airports. This one is at O'Hare International Airport and it was the most unfriendly experience I have ever endured. The prices are ridiculous since you are paying airport prices. I bought a Chex Snack Mix ($11.09), Airborne ($16.19) and a Dasani Liter ($5.29) because they didn't have any Evian. I was standing in line for the cashier when the staff asked me cash or credit. I said credit. She basically told me to go to self check out and deal with it myself. So I go to self check out... and the Dasani bottle has their QR code right next to the barcode. Obviously I know which one is the barcode, but the scanner keeps scanning the wrong one. Then the lady keeps yelling at me from afar and lecturing me. I'm like I KNOW!! Then she finally comes over after I already handled it. So USELESS and annoying!! I rather throw my money away than come back here for this second rate citizen treatment. I'm sure other places in this airport has snacks and water to purchase from. read more

Christina (I believe is the name and spelling) at Hudson News by G12 at O'Hare is an angel, thank you for taking such good care of us and wishing my partner a happy birthday. The airport is always a drag and she made our experience so much better! We hope your week is beautiful. read more

I was at the Hudson news on stairway May 3rd. The woman was very rude. How can you employ employees like this and stay in business. These types of shops i feel no pity for and I would love to see so out of business I will never go back again. 1 star is is too much. read more

Uh oh! Super expensive snacks and drinks, nice place to roam around but did not really buy anything. Cannot understand the prices.

Very expensive, but that's to be expected from an airport shop. Our family of 4 all got food poisoning after eating pretzel sandwiches from there. read more

Man this was a regret. Should of went anywhere else in the Chicago Terminal. The pre-maid Turkey Sandwich I purchased here at 'HUDSON NEWS' was literally the worst food purchase of my life. It obviously was a bad regretful scenario all around. The whole thing about the service was improper as well. The male invidual working clearly did not care about the customers nor the 'Hudson News' establishment he was hired and working for. Also, he seemed perturbed that he had to get to a job in the first place especially that early. He noticed that I had a carry on bag, so he said that they do not have any bags and I can just put what I purchased in my carryon, "It should fit in your carry-on. We don't offer bags." Its gets worse. But I will stop here. read more

Kid working counter let me know he was only there to give someone a break and couldn't take cash. Didn't even attempt to help with any questions and didn't know when the other employee was coming back. Lost money for your company today. read more

O'Hare location. They have about 5 self/checkout lanes here. The system kept trying to read a QR code instead of a bar code, and I had to cover the QR code with my finger to get self checkout to work. Then the system charged me and went right back to the start screen with no option to print a receipt. When I asked for a receipt the employees said I could return the items I just bought and then buy them again to get a receipt. Skip this store until they fix the checkout issues. read more

Stopped at 2 Hudson News stores here at Chicago O'Hare. At the first, I grabbed a souvenir Chicago mug with "Chicago" written in large letters, and photos and a description of a bunch of their most well-known landmarks. It was $9 when similar souvenirs at the Willis Tower / former Sears Tower gift shop are probably 50% more expensive than that. I went to a second Hudson location later in the day to get a snack. A vitamin water cost me $4.29 and a relatively small bag of gummy bears ran $5.29. Their overinflated prices are based on supply and demand: They know people will be thirsty and want snacks, have few other options at the airport so they price everything at a premium. It should also be noted that, when I bought my mug, the woman asked if I wanted a bag. I told her I did, and she charged me a "bag fee". That one really IS a first! Lol. read more

This Hudson News is located in Terminal 2, Concourse E, of O'Hare International Airport. The register receipt designates this location as "Store 00854." As Hank C. mentions, all of your normal Hudson News convenience store products are offered here: cold bottled water and soda, snacks, toiletries, newspapers and magazines, along with junky tourist trinkets. Picked up a couple of bottles of cold water in preparation for my flight to Dulles. The current address Yelp has listed for this location is incorrect. Until they correct the address, please note the correct address: Hudson News O'Hare International Airport, Terminal 2, Concourse E 10000 West O'Hare Chicago, IL 60666 read more

Today I encountered the worst employee of any business at Hudson News on Terminal 3, near Gate H17, American Airlines gate. As I approached the store, I politely asked the sales person if I can unfold a sweatshirt that has CHICAGO on the front of it to check the size. She answered - "There's already one on the mannequin!" I struggled to see the size on sweatshirt on the mannequin because it's too high but I saw it a MEDIUM. I wear a Large. So I unfolded a size Large to double check if it will fit me. I started to fold it to take it to the counter to pay. The sales person loudly asked me while I was folding it - "ARE YOU GOING TO BUY THAT?" I said - "yes" as I approached the counter. I handed her a $100 bill. She said - " I CANNOT DO ANYTHING WITH THAT!" I paid with my credit card. I waited for her to give me a receipt & a bag. She said - "You are done!" I asked for a bag. She said - "I will have to charge you 50 cents for the bag!" Rudest person on earth!!! I left, didn't get receipt! I just wanted to get out of there! I think I saw her name on her name badge - Chelsea C ? She needs to learn good customer service. Send her to training! read more

I hate shopping here, this location is at ORD by Gaye L10. They have three self checkout bays that they have forced to the front of the store. I hate self checkout I'm not interested in scanning and bagging my stuff for you. Meanwhile the employee who was there ignored us, he sure showed up though when my self checkout started beeping madly. Support jobs, boycott hudson news everywhere there is self checkout read more

Good selection of snacks and other items at this location, but the soda was warm. Most people that want to buy a soda in this situation want it cold. Facility was clean, employees were acceptable. read more

I don't usually review airport business unless they are really good, or really bad. Such is the case with this Hudson News. I came in to buy a shot glass. I collect them from the places I travel to and this was the only place where the had one I like. Long story short. Service is horrible, there were three associates and none of them was running the register. There was a line of people waiting and apparently the person who had to rum the register was running late and the three princesses there refused to do it. At last someone came, and it didn't get better. She was only taking credit cards and half the people who was waiting had to leave and waste there time. Moral of the story. Avoid this place unless you really need something and have the time to waste read more

Bought a charger in la Guardia Hudson and tried to return it at the Chicago Hudson because I thought I lost my charger (when I didn't). They state the return policy on their website is to allow returns at any store for 60 days if the product is unopened, but when you try to return something at a store you really have to argue with them and demand a Manager before they will take the return. We went to three different shops in the airport arguing with different employees until finally someone took the charger back. On top of it, their stores are just ridiculously over priced. There should be laws against the price gauging here, especially when they are the only shop in the airport! Other countries have done similar things. If the Charger wasn't $50 more then it costs at an apple store I probably would have just kept it! read more

Flight got canceled and needed a wall plug to charge my phone. Bought a usb c charger by accident at a steep price and store declined to refund or exchange me. So I'm stuck with no way to charge my phone and deal with my canceled flight tonight. Great customer service!!! Top notch really. read more

You can get many of the things you might need on your flight that you may have forgotten to pack, like batteries, earbuds, charging cords, salty or sweet snacks, all at outrageous prices. In fairness, the prices are only a little higher than you would find at other airports. What you won't find here is much of a selection of news, they carry no international papers. It's a really tight space, you have to be very careful if you have any luggage, but you're okay if you're traveling Spirit Airways since you will be the only people in the airport without carry-ons. The cashiers seem to have been trained to work in the style of Soviet bureaucracy, they are notably slow and grim. read more

Hudson News - Is it just me or does this seem excessive to you? - Newspapers & Magazines Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Actually, this address is on the Chicago O'Hare Airport Hudson News stands. These are small, packed to the brim with slightly overpriced snacks and local souvenirs, with magazines and a few books, along with newspapers and random necessary supplies like toothpaste and whatnot crammed into relatively small spaces. The one I'm referring to is store 00854. Clean, but the employees weren't the friendliest I've ever had. read more

Prices are bonkers and a bit of a line, but Veronica in the C Terminal (C23) was pleasant and efficient tonight. Unexpectedly, there were a good amount of healthy options, lots of high quality nuts and dried fruit and healthy drinks. Very nice magazine selection. A cranberry juice and 3 fruit & nut snacks cost me $24 though!! That's steep even for an airport shop. read more

The place to go to pick up all your retail priced magazines and books, or perhaps you'd like a very overpriced fridge magnet to take home as a memento? Drinks, candies and other tchotchkes are available. The associate who rang up my sale was pleasant. read more

I guess this is the chain you just can't avoid. Since I've been an airport warrior for the past few years I've encountered quite a few Hudsons. They are all more or less the same, offer more or less the same stuff and rarely anything under $5, including bottles of water. I do like that some stores, the clerk is very avid in letting you know the cost of things before you buy. Sometimes I get warned that the bottle I'm buying is like $5.32 after taxes and I just kind of begrudgingly accept it because I don't have many other choices. Recently they started offering Muscle Milk protein shakes. WIN! read more

30% off for those who work in the building! Other than that, expect the usual Hudson News; there's apparently not one.... not two... but THREE Hudson News here at the Ogilvie Transportation Center, so you can't miss it! What you won't miss as well are overpriced water, snacks, magazines, books.... oh wait, everything. But, its convenient as there are three of them and if you're in a rush to catch your Metra train, you can go in here and grab whatever you need before heading home. Bah, so overpriced. read more

So slow. 4 employees in the store with one register. Poor stock on magazines and water not cold.

I mean, it's an airport convenience store. Limited options, woefully overpriced. But when you're sprinting from one plane to another, and you haven't eaten in 8 hours, a Luna Bar marked up 300% is still a lifesaver. Three stars because they're so necessary, yet so exploitative price-wise. read more

Rowena L at store 850 (near gate K8) was an absolute jerk. I wanted a caffeinated beverage and there were 2 (what appeared to be) coolers. One cooler was full of water which was cold, but the second cooler was full of juice and soda and water. The water in the second cooler was cold but all sodas and juices were room temperature (I just wanted a cool/caffeinated drink for my layover). I asked her if she had any cold/cool sodas. She then screamed at me, "it's broken!" There was no sign. It appeared to be operating as usual. I then asked if she had any cold sodas anywhere (this kiosk isn't in the main stretch or close to another). She said "what do you expect?!" ...I expect a kiosk airport cooler to have cold drinks in it, and not to be told it's broken, unless there's a sign or some indication. She affirmed me that I could still buy a Diet Coke, it would be $5. For a warm Diet Coke. (Same applies to everything in the cooler). If this condescending and patronizing behavior is acceptable at HudsonNews, I'll get my soda from elsewhere from now on. read more

Rude worker. Sign said opens at 530. Asked worker at 532 what time he opens and all he can say is in a few minutes and J ask what's a few minutes, his response is however long it takes me to open. Why have posted open hours if you're not gonna open at the posted time? Be responsible and start your shift at the correct time. read more

***This Hudson News (located in Terminal 3 / American Airlines) is a small spot selling candies, snacks, drinks, and magazines; there are bigger Hudson News in this airport, but this particular location (near Garrett Popcorn) is smaller than the LAX locations*** This Hudson News is located within the terminal (and past the security gates) so it is only available for airport travelers. read more

There are tons of these Hudson News Stands all over every airport I travel through. They come in quite handy to be honest. They carry books, magazines, snacks, drinks, souvenir, and random medications. It truly is my go to place for head ache meds when I run out. They are usually quite clean and tidy. The workers are some what helpful as well. They also know the layout of the airport they are located in as well and can suggest great places to grab an adult beverage or some good hot food. I'm sure if you do any bit of flying you will run accross one of these places for sure. read more

Nope. Not a fan. Cashier, Sofiya, spent far too much time on customer in front of me. Then when it was my time turn, she barely acknowledged my presence. Learn some customer service sometime dearie. read more

This is the mandatory, must-visit store when you have a flight delay! I must have purchased cases of bottled water and newspaper / magazines from them over the decades that I pass through this airport. Despite dropping a small fortune (in my view) with them, I have not figured why they charge sales tax on newspaper sometimes (and sometimes they don't). Anyone know? read more

The old lady cashier at the hudson news right by terminal B16 is rude! I wanted to buy some cheetos so I politely called her attention to ask how much and out of the blue she raised her voice saying "its more than $3! You called me just for that when you knew I was there!" Then she murmured something in her language. Wont go back to this store! Rude as hell to customers. read more

Prohibitively expensive. I was charged $4.69 for a 20oz bottle of water. Thank goodness I didn't want any snacks or reading material for my flight. Fellow travelers, avoid this place unless you're desperate. read more
