Gate 8 in Terminal A means Orange County Market is closest
This small travel essentials shop sits just steps from Gate 8 in Terminal A, handy if you’re flying Southwest or WestJet out of that side of the concourse. It’s post-security, so you can swing by after TSA without backtracking. Think last-minute fixes: earbuds before a 5-hour leg, a phone cable before a cross‑country, or a magazine to kill 30 minutes before boarding.
Orange County Market stocks basic tech gear like Lightning and USB‑C chargers, power banks, and wired headphones, usually in the $15–$40 range. You’ll also see neck pillows, eye masks, and small blankets aimed at longer flights to hubs like DEN, PHX, or DAL. It’s not a full electronics store, but enough selection to recover from a forgotten cable or adapter.
Snacks run the usual airport spectrum: bottled water and sodas in single 16–20 oz sizes, plus chips, candy, and a few granola bars. Prices sit above street level, with drinks around $4–$6. If you need something more substantial, walk 2–3 minutes toward the central food court near the security checkpoint in Terminal A for hot food instead.
Figure 5–10 minutes total to detour from nearby gates A6–A10, browse, and get back to your seat. Use a restroom stop as the trigger: hit the bathroom near Gate 8, then loop past Orange County Market for chargers and snacks before you return to your gate.
