Love From USA is Redefining Airport Retail
Through give back programs like Second Chance, Love from USA isn’t just competing in airport retail – we're redefining it.
At Love From USA, our mission is to deliver an extraordinary travel and gift shopping experience that reflects the local culture and lifestyle of the communities we serve. True to our company culture, we actively engage in initiatives and programs that support the communities in which we operate, one of which being Second Chance.
Second Chance
Second Chance is a mentorship program designed to help at-risk youth and is soon-to-be active in two markets across the United States.
Second chances come in an infinite variety of forms, but all share the same underlying quality: they involve helping someone up who has previously fallen. We believe we have the responsibility to provide second chances, and each of us can help lift others.
In this spirit, Love From USA is pleased to announce its Second Chance Program, a national commitment to provide valuable job skills and career opportunities to at risk youth and individuals impacted by a justice experience. Through the Second Chance Program, Love From USA creates partnerships with local organizations that support those in need of advocacy, guidance and employment. We work hand in hand with these groups and recruit, hire, train and develop those disadvantaged, underprivileged, and otherwise adversely impacted by several factors resulting in nearly insurmountable challenges to cope, acclimate and achieve stability in day-to-day life.
Love From Felicity
Set to launch in spring 2025, Love From Felicity is a collaborative effort between Love From USA and The Felicity School. This innovative kiosk aims to offer convenience for travelers while championing a socially responsible mission that supports the development and empowerment of students from The Felicity School.
Love From Felicity at O’Hare is more than just a retail space, it’s an elevated grab-and-go kiosk offering high-quality pre-packaged sandwiches, salads, snacks, and beverages while empowering students from The Felicity School, an educational and life-changing program. This collaboration is led by Love From USA, a company with 24 stores in airports and high-profile venues nationwide. Together, Love From Felicity is redefining grab-and-go retail at O’Hare International Airport.
The Felicity School is a private therapeutic day school that believes that every student can achieve greatness and success when placed in environments that highlight their skills. The school offers a non-traditional setting with open and flexible spaces designed to alleviate the negative feelings often associated with conventional schooling. Through integrated vocational programs, experiential learning, individualized programming, technology, mentoring, and both individual and group counseling, students gain the resources to build self-worth, accept responsibility, and make healthy life choices.
Love From USA takes pride in its partnership with The Felicity School. Through this collaboration, Felicity students will receive part-time employment, training, and support to help them secure jobs post-graduation. In this initiative, Felicity students are responsible for creating menus and packaging the food, while Love From USA manages the operation of the kiosk at O’Hare International Airport. Additionally, a portion of the proceeds will be donated back to The Felicity School to further support their mission and programs. This concept is truly unique and will make an impact at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport.
Giving back is at the core of Love From USA. Through giveback programs like Second Chance, we aren’t just competing in airport retail – we're redefining it.
