Shopping
Kahului (OGG) Airport Shopping
Shopping at Kahului 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
International Shoppes (iShoppes) took over duty-free and retail concessions at OGG from DFS Hawaii in April 2026 under a new 10-year HDOT contract, operating out of the former DFS spaces in the Main Terminal's Central Building and Ticketing Lobby while renovations continue (the shops remain open during the transition, and some signage may still read 'DFS'). Duty-free goods — perfume, cosmetics, alcohol, tobacco, confectionery — are sold to passengers departing internationally on OGG's Canada-bound flights; the same space also carries general retail and Hawaii-made products for all travelers.
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
A single Newsstand in the Main Terminal Central Building (open daily 6am–9pm) covers magazines, paperbacks, and travel reads — there is no dedicated bookstore chain such as Hudson News or WHSmith at OGG.
Convenience & travel essentials
Kahului Trading Co. and Pineapple Country (both Main Terminal Central Building) sell snacks, drinks, sundries, and Maui-themed gifts. Island Shoppers (Gates 17–27, daily 10am–9:30pm) and The Old Plantation Store (Gates 29–39, 11am–2:30pm and 6pm–10pm) add convenience and gift items near the interisland gate concourses.
Hudson News is at most gate areas throughout Kahului Airport — a reliable last-minute stop for charging cables, snacks, OTC medicine, and reading material before any departure.
Tech & electronics
No dedicated electronics/tech retailer (no InMotion Entertainment, Best Buy Express, or similar) has been identified at OGG. Pack chargers, headphones, and cables before you fly — the Newsstand and gift shops carry only basic travel accessories, not electronics.
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 standalone fashion or apparel boutique at OGG. Maui Divers Jewelry (Gates 17–27, daily 8am–9:30pm) is the airport's one notable specialty retailer, selling Hawaii-made jewelry. Aloha wear and resort-style apparel are sold as part of the general gift-shop assortment (Kahului Trading Co., Pineapple Country, Island Shoppers) rather than in dedicated clothing stores.
Best shopping area
The Main Terminal Central Building is OGG's shopping hub — the Newsstand, Kahului Trading Co., Pineapple Country, and the iShoppes duty-free/retail space all cluster here between the ticketing lobby and the gate concourses.
Pro Tip
OGG's duty-free operator changed from DFS to International Shoppes in April 2026 — expect the same Central Building and Ticketing Lobby locations under new branding and mid-renovation. Duty-free purchases only make sense if you're on one of OGG's Canada-bound flights (Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton); domestic mainland and interisland travelers should shop the gate-area gift shops instead.
