The Chicago Department of Aviation (CDA) and Midway Partnership have marked another milestone in the ongoing modernisation of Midway International Airport with the openings of Chicago Sports and Johnston & Murphy. The new stores highlight the continued investment and momentum driving improvements across the airport’s concessions program.
“We know travellers come through our airports for countless reasons, and we’re committed to offering retail options that meet all of their needs – whether it’s finding a last-minute gift for a loved one or picking up a new blazer for a meeting right after landing,” said Commissioner Michael McMurray of the Chicago Department of Aviation. “The addition of Chicago Sports and Johnston & Murphy strengthens our retail mix and keeps Chicago’s airports among the best in the world for passenger experience.”
Passengers can also represent Chicago and its iconic sports teams no matter the destination with officially licensed gear and merchandise from Chicago Sports. From hats and jerseys to hoodies and T-shirts, there’s something for every Chicago sports fan. Whether you’re a fan of the Cubs, White Sox, Bears, Bulls, or Blackhawks, Chicago Sports is the perfect stop to grab gear on-the go or for a last-minute outfit to watch the games in style at one of Midway’s eateries.
“We’re thrilled to welcome these exciting new retail concepts to Midway’s ever-growing line-up of shops, restaurants, and amenities,” said Shawnta Young, General Manager, Midway Partnership. “These additions reflect our ongoing commitment to making Midway a destination that celebrates Chicago’s energy, creativity and businesses. We are grateful to our partners at the CDA, Vantage Group, SSP America, and Hudson for collaborating to offer a world-class, Chicago-inspired experience to guests at Midway.”
