By Gate A, this Travel Mart fills the last-minute gaps
Travel Mart sits airside in concourse A at El Paso (ELP), after security, so you can grab things on the walk to gates A1–A4. It’s a standard grab-and-go shop: cold drinks, candy bars, chips, gum, neck pillows, phone chargers, and a small rack of El Paso souvenirs. Think quick pass-through, not a long browse.
Hours usually track the morning and evening banks of flights, roughly from the first departures around 4:30–5:00 a.m. to the last ones around 9:00–10:00 p.m., though closing can slide earlier on slower nights. Prices sit higher than street level: bottled water runs around $3–$4, candy $2–$4, and basic USB cables around $15–$20. Still cheaper than boarding without a charger.
Food here is mainly packaged: chips, cookies, nuts, protein bars, and a limited cooler with sodas, juices, and a few energy drinks. If you want a real meal at ELP, you’re better off hitting a restaurant in concourse A or B before you walk down to your gate; treat Travel Mart as a backup snack stop or drink run. Coffee options are usually bottled or canned, not fresh-brewed.
One last tip: grab water and snacks here after security instead of bringing liquids from outside and losing them at the checkpoint. If you’re tight on time between flights in A, Travel Mart is quick enough that a 5-minute stop won’t risk your boarding group.
