Local 562 gear right in LGB’s Terminal 1 concourse
This small shop in Terminal 1’s north concourse trades on Long Beach pride and the 562 area code theme. You’ll see “562” on caps, shirts, and accessories tied directly to the city, not generic California merch. It sits post-security, so you can grab something after TSA without backtracking landside.
Signage matches the 562 Experience listing you’ll see in the Long Beach Business Journal, and everything orbits around Long Beach neighborhoods, beaches, and port culture. Think branded tees, hats, and drinkware that actually say “Long Beach” and “562,” not just “LA.” Prices run higher than a downtown souvenir stand, but still typical airport retail: expect t‑shirts in the $25–$40 range and caps in the $30 neighborhood.
Hours aren’t clearly posted online, but it generally trades in the daytime bank that matches most LGB departures, roughly morning through early evening tied to Terminal 1 flight waves. Inventory skews tourist and giftable, so this is more last‑minute present stop than daily‑use basics. If you need plain socks, snacks, or chargers, the other terminal stores handle that better.
No consistent complaints show up yet in online chatter, and there’s no strong “regulars do this” pattern since it’s mostly one‑off vacation and business traffic. Think of it as a quick 10‑minute walk‑through between security and your gate. Tip: if you want a 562 shirt in your actual size, stop here before the final boarding call in case your gate is a short walk and the shop closes with the last evening departure.
