Near Gate 3 in Main Terminal, Downeast Marketplace/Cool As A Moose sells loud Maine-themed gear
This combo shop sits post-security in the Main Terminal near Gate 3, so you can duck in after TSA without backtracking. It carries Cool As A Moose-branded hoodies, tees, and caps with big “Maine” logos plus moose graphics. You’ll also see lobster-print socks, state-shaped magnets, and Portland airport souvenirs with “PWM” on them. Expect airport-level pricing: shirts usually land in the $25–$45 range, with smaller items like stickers and keychains under $10.
Downeast Marketplace shares the space, so along with logo wear you get local snacks and gifts. Think blueberry jams, maple candy, saltwater taffy, and locally themed coffee sold in 12 oz bags. It’s useful if you forgot a host gift and don’t have time to leave the airport. Inventory skews strongly toward Maine-branded items rather than generic travel gear, so don’t come here looking for serious luggage or electronics; you’re mostly paying for state pride and last-minute souvenirs.
Hours track flight banks and generally cover the first departures through the last evening arrivals in the Main Terminal, but the shop can shut earlier on very quiet nights, especially outside summer. If you’ve got a tight turn, assume you need to swing by before 7 p.m. for safest odds. One practical move: snap up anything you like on the way out of Portland, because this specific Cool As A Moose airport mix is rarely duplicated downtown.
