Near the Inter-Faith Chapel by Gate B10 in Terminal 1
Just past security in Terminal 1, the Inter-Faith Chapel Shop sits beside the small chapel area near the B-gates, so it’s easy to duck in before boarding. It’s inside the secure zone, so you don’t need extra time to clear TSA again. Think of it as the quiet corner of Richmond International Airport (RIC), away from the food lines and bar noise.
The shelves lean heavily on religious and inspirational items: Bibles, prayer books, small devotionals, and pocket-sized inspirational pamphlets you can read in under 20 minutes. You’ll also find simple gifts like cross necklaces, small statues, and greeting cards with faith-based messages, often under $15. Stock is tighter than a standard newsstand, but more focused.
Hours track with the main flight banks at RIC, so it usually opens early morning around the first departures and tends to close by early evening when the last waves of flights slow down. Don’t expect late-night service after 9 p.m., and don’t rely on it for snacks or drinks; this is more bookstore-gift shop than convenience store.
One practical tip: hit a regular newsstand first for water and snacks, then stop at the Inter-Faith Chapel Shop on your way to Gate B10 if you want reading material or a small gift that fits easily in a personal item.
