Terminal 2’s main post-security shop when you forget something
Hudson in Terminal 2 sits past security, serving Sun Country and other low‑cost carrier passengers who realize at gate time that they still need snacks, water, or a neck pillow. It’s essentially the only full newsstand/convenience store option in this terminal once you’re through the checkpoint, so this is where you grab last‑minute basics without trekking back landside.
Expect standard airport markups: bottled drinks and packaged snacks run higher than street prices, and reviews call that out as “typical airport pricing.” You’ll find grab‑and‑go chips, candy, gum, and small travel toiletries along with reading material and basic tech like charging cables and headphones. Figure on paying a couple of dollars more per item than at a Target 10 minutes from MSP.
Regulars flying Terminal 2 say they pop in just to buy a large bottle of water and gum before boarding, especially if the small food outlets near the gates are slammed. One reviewer specifically mentioned grabbing a neck pillow here before a Sun Country flight because there weren’t other real store options beyond a few snack counters. Think of it as your last realistic chance to fix a forgotten item without waiting for in‑flight sales.
Watch out for impulse buys at the register; small electronics and “2 for” snack deals add up quickly on a short layover. If you care about price, pick up any bulky items (like travel pillows) at home and use Hudson mainly for emergencies. Tip: swing through right after security rather than five minutes before boarding so you’re not stuck in a pre‑departure line.
