Forgot a suitcase at home? The Luggage Store can bail you out.
This small shop in CHS Main Terminal focuses on replacement luggage and quick bag upgrades, not fashion browsing. You’ll see it airside after security, past the central food court, before you hit the B and A gate split. Think carry-ons, checked-suitcase stand‑ins, duffels, and basic travel accessories rather than big-brand flagship displays.
Inventory leans practical: hard‑side and soft‑side roller bags in standard 21–22 inch carry‑on sizes, a few larger 24–28 inch checked bags, plus boarding‑friendly backpacks and cross‑body bags. Prices sit in the midrange for an airport shop; expect carry‑ons around the $80–$180 mark, with smaller under‑seat bags and totes closer to $40–$70. If you just need a strap, tag, lock, or luggage scale, they usually have those at single‑digit or low‑teens prices.
The Luggage Store opens with the main morning bank of departures and typically trades until the last evening flights around 9–10 p.m., in line with other Main Terminal shops. That makes it a realistic option if your bag handle snaps on a 6 a.m. departure or your spinner wheel dies on an 8 p.m. connection. Stock skews toward basic black and navy, so don’t expect thirty colorways of every model.
Use this spot for emergency fixes and functional upgrades, not bargain hunting. If you have more than 45 minutes before boarding, walk through once, check weights and dimensions against your airline’s carry‑on rules, and then commit so you’re not re‑packing at the gate podium.
