Just past security in Terminal B, Explore Memphis hits fast
Explore Memphis sits in Terminal B and leans hard into local branding: Think MEM shirts, Memphis skyline mugs, and souvenir magnets tied to Beale Street and the Grizzlies. It’s post-security, so you can swing through after clearing TSA without risking your spot in the B-gate boarding lines. Shelves skew to last‑minute gifts and travel basics rather than deep fashion or tech.
Hours track typical B concourse traffic, generally opening by the first bank of morning departures and closing after the last evening flights leave Terminal B. Expect standard airport pricing: T‑shirts usually land in the $20–$35 range, smaller keychains and magnets around $5–$10. That keeps it in impulse-buy territory if you just realized you’re heading to a birthday or forgot a souvenir for kids at home.
Stock covers the basics: neck pillows, charging cables, headphones, and clear 3‑1‑1 toiletry kits, handy if TSA at MEM just pulled a too‑big bottle. You’ll also see Memphis-branded hats and ballcaps tied to local teams and music themes, plus some simple snacks and bottled drinks so you don’t have to double back to another B concourse shop. No specialty electronics or high-end luggage here; think convenience, not gear upgrade.
Figure 5–10 minutes for a loop through Explore Memphis in Terminal B, even with a short line at the single register. Quick tip: if you’re boarding from a far B gate, hit this shop right after security so you’re not sprinting back from the store when Group 3 gets called.
