Shopping
Allentown (ABE) Airport Shopping
Shopping at Lehigh Valley International Airport spans convenience staples at Hudson News and tech accessories at InMotion through to local specialty gifts and duty-free for international travelers. See each section below for exact locations by concourse or terminal.
Duty-free shopping
None — ABE has no scheduled international commercial service, so there is no duty-free shop anywhere in the airport.
US duty-free allowance
US residents may bring back $800 in duty-free goods per person. Liquids purchased at duty-free must be in the original sealed store bag when transiting international connections — otherwise they may be confiscated at the connecting airport security checkpoint.
Books & magazines
No dedicated bookstore or newsstand chain (e.g., Hudson) at ABE; Avenue C Market and Market in the Valley carry a small selection of magazines alongside snacks and travel items.
Convenience & travel essentials
Avenue C Market (self-service snacks, beverages, and travel essentials, Gate Concourse) and Market in the Valley (travel convenience items plus Lehigh Valley-made local goods, Gate Concourse).
Hudson News is at most gate areas throughout Lehigh Valley International Airport — a reliable last-minute stop for charging cables, snacks, OTC medicine, and reading material before any departure.
Tech & electronics
No dedicated electronics retailer at ABE. The Tech Bar in the Gate Concourse's children's play area offers free device charging but does not sell tech accessories.
Best Buy Express kiosks carry Apple accessories, Bose headphones, and phone chargers at most major US airports. InMotion Entertainment is the other key tech stop — open at most gate clusters and stocked with travel-oriented electronics essentials.
Fashion & specialty retail
No fashion or apparel retail at ABE; shopping is limited to convenience/gift items and local Lehigh Valley products at Avenue C Market, Market in the Valley, and Zekraft.
Best shopping area
The Wiley Post Jr. Gate Concourse — home to all of ABE's retail: Avenue C Market, Market in the Valley, and Zekraft's local artisanal goods.
Pro Tip
ABE has essentially no pre-security retail besides the Lehigh Valley Cafe, so do your shopping after the checkpoint — Zekraft in the Gate Concourse is the best spot for a distinctly local Lehigh Valley souvenir instead of generic airport merchandise.
