Shopping
Colorado Springs (COS) Airport Shopping
Shopping at Colorado Springs Airport spans convenience staples at Hudson News and tech accessories at InMotion through to local specialty gifts and bookshops. See each section below for exact locations by concourse or terminal.
Duty-free shopping
No significant duty-free at this airport
No duty-free shop at COS. This is primarily a domestic airport; its only international route (Southwest's seasonal, once-weekly Cancún flight) is a seasonal arrival-focused service, and no duty-free operator is listed among the airport's published shops. For duty-free purchases, travelers should plan to shop at an international gateway airport on their route.
Books & magazines
No dedicated bookstore. Hudson Nonstop (next to Gate 3) and Hudson - Colorful Colorado (next to Gate 7) carry magazines, paperbacks, and travel reads alongside convenience items.
Convenience & travel essentials
Hudson Nonstop (next to Gate 3) for fast-checkout essentials, and Hudson - Colorful Colorado (next to Gate 7), a locally-themed travel convenience store with snacks, drinks, gifts, and souvenirs.
Hudson News is at most gate areas throughout Colorado Springs Airport — a reliable last-minute stop for charging cables, snacks, OTC medicine, and reading material before any departure.
Tech & electronics
No dedicated electronics retailer (no Best Buy Express or InMotion). Hudson - Colorful Colorado stocks basic tech accessories such as chargers and headphones alongside its book/gift selection.
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
Cos Provisions (pre-security, right side of the center lobby) carries Happy Socks, Sunglass Hut, Brookstone, and Herschel Supply Co. alongside U.S. Olympic & Paralympic and U.S. Air Force Academy branded merchandise and jewelry from local designer Renata Rubio — a distinctly Colorado Springs/'Olympic City USA' retail mix rather than standard airport apparel.
Best shopping area
Cos Provisions, pre-security in the center lobby — the widest and most distinctive retail selection at COS, anchored by U.S. Olympic and Air Force Academy merchandise unique to Colorado Springs.
Pro Tip
Because COS has no duty-free and only one pre-security shop plus two post-security Hudson stores, do your gift shopping before security at Cos Provisions if you want Olympic-city or Air Force Academy souvenirs — the post-security Hudson stores skew toward snacks and basic travel items.
