Yesterday, intern Farraz Khan toured the new terminal at Love for us. Included in his recap were pictures and a description of a D Mag-branded newsstand shop. In the comments, a wisenheimer asked whether we were now doing business with Eddie Bernice Johnson. I see that comment has been deleted. Not sure why. These things happen. But I thought the joke was a fair one, because folks deserve to know where our interests lie. (If you need to catch up on the whole rancorous deal over concessions at Love, start here. But just know that EBJ, as part owner of Hudson Retail Dallas, was involved.)
So then. The D Magazine-branded newsstand is run by CBR Specialty Retail, which is an affiliate of HMSHost, which is part of Autogrill S.p.A., which claims to be the world’s largest provider of food, beverage, and retail services for travelers. CBR Specailty uses our trademarks through a license agreement. We look forward to a long and successful business partnership with them. And free Big Red.
