Right across from Gate 3 in Concourse A
This Hudson News And Gifts sits post-security in Terminal 1, an easy 2‑minute walk from most GRR gates. It’s your standard airport newsstand setup: magazines, bottled drinks, candy, gum, plus last‑second travel items. Expect typical airport markups, with bottled water around $3–4 and snacks in the $2–6 range. Hours usually track the first and last departures of the day, roughly 4:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., but can tighten on lighter schedules.
You’ll find grab‑and‑go basics here: protein bars, chips, packaged nuts, and a few premade sandwiches in the $7–11 range. Coffee is drip and pod‑machine style, not a full café setup, and runs about $3–5 depending on size. They stock regional souvenirs with “Grand Rapids” or “Michigan” branding, plus standard T‑shirts, hoodies, and travel mugs in the $15–40 band. If you forgot a phone charger, expect to pay $20–35 for cables, bricks, or small power banks.
Hudson keeps a predictable mix of toiletries and travel fixes: travel‑size pain relievers, toothbrush kits, razors, and eye masks, usually $3–10. Basic electronics like headphones and adapter plugs sit on the back wall racks. Paperbacks and a few bestsellers are near the front, priced in the usual $10–20 range. No seating here; plan to grab what you need and head back to your gate within 5 minutes.
Practical tip: if your flight leaves before 6:00 a.m., assume limited food elsewhere and grab water plus a snack here the moment you clear security.
