📚 There’s still plenty of summer left for a great read! That spirit was on full display at the second annual National Book Lovers Day event at Boston Logan International Airport (BOS), where travelers had the opportunity to stop by our stores to meet best-selling authors, have books signed, and discover their next page-turner. 📖 Lisa Donovan from iHeartMedia’s Kiss 108 interviewed authors Ben Mezrich ("Checkmate"), Christine Ricci-McNamee ("Logan and the Disappearing Document"), Emily Franklin ("The Lioness of Boston" and "Love & Other Monsters"), and Pamela Kelley ("Nantucket Second Chances"). With so much traveler engagement, the event was a wonderful reminder that books have a unique way of connecting people, inspiring curiosity, and making any journey a little more memorable. Thank you to Massachusetts Port Authority and MarketPlace Development for your partnership in bringing this idea to life. And for all the book lovers out there, we wish you a very happy National Book Lovers Day this Sunday. Share with us what you're reading! 📚 📸: Michael Blanchard Photography

Our social media manager is NOT on vacation 👏, but she might as well be because all she’s doing is filming ranch content. (How many Reels is too many Reels? 🫣) Ranch dressing is having its moment in the spotlight during the World Cup and we’re here for fans! We’ve stocked up on bottles — post-security, of course — for travelers passing through SEA, BOS, and JFK. ✈️ None of this happens without the strength of our retail and vendor partnerships — they're what let us move fast and get on-trend products onto shelves right when travelers are looking for them.
