Gate-side sugar hit in the North Terminal
Right in OMA’s North Terminal concourse, Hollywood Candy is the bright, slightly chaotic candy shop you spot from a few gates away. Shelves run heavy on retro brands, novelty sweets, and movie-themed treats, so it feels more like a small-town candy store than standard airport retail. It’s fully post-security, so you can duck in after clearing TSA without risking a missed boarding call.
Hours track with most North Terminal traffic, roughly early-morning departures through the last evening flights, though exact opening and closing times shift with the schedule. Expect airport pricing: single bars around $2–$4, grab bags closer to $6–$10, and larger gift boxes heading north of $15. If you want something to share on a short flight to Denver or Chicago, the mid-size mixed bags hit the sweet spot.
Stock skews heavy on packaged candy rather than fresh items, so it travels well in a carry-on and survives layovers in Omaha’s South Terminal or a longer connection at your next hub. You’ll see brand-name chocolate, sour candy, gummies, and novelty items that keep kids occupied at 30,000 feet. Drinks are limited compared with the nearby newsstands, so grab water or soda elsewhere if you’re also trying to build a full snack kit.
Fast move: pick your candy, pay contactless at the single register, and bag everything yourself so it’s ready to toss straight into the seatback pocket. If your gate changes within the North Terminal, plan a 3–5 minute walk from Hollywood Candy to most nearby gates.
