Gate-side in Terminal 1, Paradies Shops covers the basics fast
Just past security in Terminal 1, Paradies Shops is the main stop for magazines, snacks, and last‑minute gear at Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport. It sits in the single concourse, so you’ll walk by it on the way to most gates. Think small regional airport newsstand plus a bit of travel gear, not a full department store.
Paradies usually opens early enough for the first departures, around the 4:30–5:00 a.m. bank, and stays open through the last evening flights. You’ll find grab‑and‑go snacks, bottled drinks, basic toiletries, and a few tech accessories like charging cables and headphones. Expect airport markups: a bottled soda often runs around $3–4, and basic charger cables can hit the $15–25 range.
Inventory leans standard: national-brand chips and candy, a rack or two of Amarillo and Texas‑themed souvenirs, and paperback books. If you forgot something essential like toothpaste, a phone cable, or over‑the‑counter meds, this is the spot in Terminal 1 to fix it without leaving the secure side. Don’t expect fresh food beyond packaged items; plan on snacks, not a meal.
Tip: if your flight from AMA boards in the early A.M., grab a drink and any phone accessories you need here right after security in Terminal 1 so you’re not stuck with dead battery and no options at the gate area later.
