Gate-side tech and travel gear from EVOLVE by Hudson
This EVOLVE by Hudson sits in the Main Terminal at Chicago Midway (MDW), post-security, so it works for all airlines using the concourses. It’s Hudson’s newer concept: fewer magazines and souvenirs, more electronics, travel gadgets, and last-minute upgrades for your carry-on. Think phone chargers, power banks, Bluetooth headphones, and TSA-sized accessories that actually pass the 3.4 oz rule.
Hours generally mirror peak flight banks, with doors open from early morning departures around 5:00 a.m. through the last evening flights near 9:00–10:00 p.m. at Midway. Pricing lands in standard airport territory: expect to pay around $30–$40 for branded earbuds, $20+ for power banks, and $10–$20 for travel pillows and organizers. If your cable dies at the gate, this is the place that bails you out without hunting the whole terminal.
Stock leans heavily into electronics and travel essentials rather than snacks, unlike older Hudson News spots elsewhere in MDW’s Main Terminal. You’ll see name-brand chargers and headphones alongside hard-shell carry-ons, laptop sleeves, and RFID wallets. It’s also one of the more reliable spots in the terminal to grab an extra USB-C or Lightning cable that actually supports fast charging, instead of the $5 kiosk junk that quits after two uses.
One practical move: hit EVOLVE by Hudson right after security in the Main Terminal, before you walk down to your gate. That’s when you remember the missing cable, pen, or power adapter, and it saves you from backtracking 10–15 minutes later when boarding starts.
