East Rutherford, N.J., August 1, 2018 – Hudson Group (NYSE: HUD), a leader in North American travel retail, announced an agreement under which Hudson Group will serve as the exclusive U.S. travel retailer for sales of international tennis champion Maria Sharapova's premium candy line, Sugarpova.

Under the agreement, Hudson Group’s exclusivity covers Sugarpova’s current and future products, which will be available across the United States at its Hudson and Hudson News stores, as well as Hudson Group’s localized travel essentials, convenience, and candy concepts.

I'm very excited to see how this partnership takes off.
