T2’s main concourse is where you’ll find C-Store
C-Store sits airside in Terminal 2 at Shanghai Pudong, on the main departures concourse rather than down a specific gate pier, so you can swing by from most T2 gates in under 5–10 minutes. Think basic airport convenience shop: packaged snacks, bottled drinks, and last‑minute travel items before flights on China Eastern and other T2 carriers.
Pricing runs higher than downtown Shanghai: expect to pay around 8–12 CNY for water that’s 3–4 CNY in a city shop, and 15–25 CNY for chips or instant noodles. You’ll also see candy, gum, and a few local snacks, which can be useful if you skipped the 7‑Eleven or FamilyMart in the city. Cards from major networks usually work, but keep a backup payment option if you don’t have UnionPay or mobile wallets like Alipay/WeChat Pay.
Stock leans heavily toward single-serve items and travel basics: bottled tea and soft drinks in the cooler, instant noodles you can eat on the plane, plus small packs of tissues and simple toiletries. Don’t expect electronics beyond basic charging cables or power adapters, and don’t count on hot food if you need a full meal before a long-haul from T2.
Tip: if you want specific brands or more normal city prices, grab snacks in Shanghai before heading to PVG; treat C-Store in T2 as a backup for forgotten items or a last cold drink before boarding.
