By gate-side in T1, this is the catch-all shop
Travel Essentials Store sits airside in Terminal T1 at Lomé–Tokoin, covering the basics for last-minute needs before regional flights. You’ll see it after security in the main departures area, alongside a couple of small snack stands. It leans more toward grab-and-go practicality than souvenirs, but there are usually a few logo items with “Lomé” or “Togo” on them if you need a quick gift.
Stock runs to standard travel add-ons: phone chargers, universal plug adapters for West Africa, basic headphones, neck pillows, and small bottles of toiletries. Pricing skews airport-high; assume you’ll pay at least 20–30% more than in town for branded accessories. If you forgot a charger or converter entirely, though, this is your realistic last shot before boarding.
Snacks and drinks sit on one side of the store, covering bottled water, canned sodas, and packaged cookies or chips. Don’t expect hot food or fresh sandwiches here; if you want a real meal in T1, you’re better off hitting the small café in departures first and using Travel Essentials Store as a backup for sealed snacks. Figure on paying the equivalent of a couple of euros for a bottle of water.
Hours typically track the main bank of departures, so you’ll usually find it open from early-morning departures through the last late-evening flights. Still, early 04:00 check-ins and very late delays can mean shutters down. Tip: buy any adapter, charger, or basic meds here before heading to a remote domestic connection, where options shrink fast.
