Shop Overview
704 Shop is a fast, easy-to-browse gift-and-apparel stop best known for regionally themed merchandise—think graphic tees, hoodies, caps, and small accessories that work as instant souvenirs. It’s designed for travelers who want something “of the Carolinas” without committing to a long shopping detour.
Expect a casual, grab-and-go experience: open fixtures, approachable pricing, and plenty of items that pack flat in a carry-on. The assortment typically leans into airport-friendly gifting—wearables in multiple sizes plus small branded keepsakes—so you can pick something up even if you’re boarding soon.
What to Buy
- Best-sellers: Regional graphic T-shirts, hoodies, and baseball caps—the easiest “I was here” purchase for friends and family.
- Small gifts: Keychains, stickers, magnets, and compact accessories that won’t trigger liquid rules or take up luggage space.
- Practical add-ons: Light layers (great for chilly cabins) and simple travel accessories you can use immediately.
- Airport exclusives: You’ll often see designs and colorways tailored to airport retail—ideal if you want something you’re unlikely to find downtown on the same day.
Price notes: This is not a duty-free shop, so you shouldn’t expect tax-free luxury savings. Value here is convenience and “last chance” souvenir shopping. Compared with off-airport boutiques, prices can run a bit higher, but you’re paying for secure-area access and quick selection.
Location & Hours
Location: Post-security in the A/B Connector area. After you clear security, follow signs toward the concourses and look for the connector walkway between the main post-security zones—704 Shop sits along that pass-through, making it easy to pop in whether you’re heading to or coming from your gate.
Security zone: After security (departing passengers only).
- Peak times: Early mornings and late afternoons when business and leisure departures cluster; allow extra time if you’re shopping for apparel sizes.
- Quieter times: Midday lulls between banked departures are best for trying on hoodies or comparing designs without crowds.
Hours: Not consistently published in the available airport listings for this shop; hours can vary by season and flight schedules. Check terminal signage or the airport map on-site for the most accurate current hours.
Shopping Tips
- Duty-free reminder: No duty-free allowances apply here. If you’re an international traveler looking for duty-free savings, you’ll need a dedicated duty-free store elsewhere in the terminal.
- Time-saving strategy: If you’re unsure what to buy, start with a cap or tee—easy sizing, quick checkout, and universally giftable.
- Returns/exchanges: Airport retail return rules vary by operator and item type. Ask for the receipt and clarify the return window and whether unworn apparel can be exchanged if sizing is off.
- Payment: Expect major credit/debit cards and typically mobile payments; carry a backup card in case contactless is unavailable.
