"After checking in and making their way through security, travelers often
shift their priorities to finding something to read or to buying a snack for
the trip. Now, Cleveland travelers will have a terrific selection of books,
magazines, snacks, and gifts thanks to Hudson News, the leader in news and
gift offerings at airports across the nation," said Tina LaForte, vice
president of BAA Cleveland. "BAA Cleveland is proud that Hudson will be an
integral part of the new AIRMALL(R). Moreover, travelers can shop and buy
knowing that they'll be paying 'Regular Mall Prices...Guaranteed.'"

Hudson News currently operates a unit in the airport's car rental facility and
a larger unit located directly across from the Concourse C checkpoint. These
two units are part of a group of eleven permanent stores that will open at the
new AIRMALL(R) at CLE. Hudson Group, operators of the Hudson News units at
CLE, has teamed up with two Airport Concessions Disadvantaged Business
Enterprise (ACDBE) companies to manage all of the stores - the United
Concessions Group, Inc., and Fins & Feathers Seafood and Poultry Market, Inc.,
dba English Concessions. Both are Cleveland-based companies.

"When we appointed BAA Cleveland as the developer of concessions at the
airport, our goal was to dramatically increase the quality of our offerings
and to expand business opportunities for qualified local entrepreneurs," said
Ricky Smith, director of the Cleveland Airport System. "Hudson Group's
partnership with several local companies is clear evidence that the formula is
working. Moreover, the additional retail units will increase employment
opportunities for Cleveland-area residents."

Honored numerous times by Airport Revenue News as the Best News and Gift
Operator, Hudson News stores feature thousands of regional, national and
international magazine titles along with an extensive selection of newspapers
and books. A wide range of snacks, bottled beverages, film, batteries, health
and beauty aids, traveler convenience items, tobacco products, candy, souvenir
apparel, and regional gifts supplement the reading materials.

The AIRMALL(R) at CLE, a project of BAA Cleveland, is a product of the City of
Cleveland's 10-year contract with BAA Cleveland to develop and manage
concessions at CLE. The city anticipates the AIRMALL(R) will double the
current participation rate of local and minority-owned companies, double the
number of concession jobs, and double retail sales figures during the next
decade. When complete, the AIRMALL(R) at CLE will occupy 76,000 square feet
of retail space.

Hudson News & Gifts (Concourse C Checkpoint) is open Sunday through Friday
from 5:00 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. and on Saturday from 5:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
