Shopping
Pittsburgh (PIT) Airport Shopping
Shopping at Pittsburgh 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
Pittsburgh Duty Free operates one counter in Concourse C — PIT's international gateway, just past the glass doors — selling fragrance, cosmetics, Astor chocolates, tobacco, alcohol, leather goods, and electronics tax-free to outbound international passengers on presentation of a boarding pass (items are sealed and can be delivered to your departure gate). It's a single, modest counter rather than a large duty-free hall, reflecting PIT's relatively light international schedule (London, Dublin, Reykjavik, Toronto, and seasonal Caribbean/Mexico routes).
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
Hudson operates three stores opened with the new terminal in November 2025 (pre-security landside, Concourse A, and the post-security Center Core) stocking magazines, books, and bestsellers alongside snacks and travel essentials; longstanding Hudson Booksellers/Hudson News locations also remain in the airside concourses reached via the Skybridge.
Convenience & travel essentials
Hudson convenience stores (the three new-terminal locations plus legacy concourse locations) cover snacks, drinks, and travel necessities. Duquesne & Co., new in the terminal's Center Core, sells Pittsburgh-themed gifts (mugs, keychains, socks, and 'Pittsburghese' slang items like 'yinz' and 'jagoff') alongside products from local makers such as Spectrum Fudge and Pittsburgh Popcorn.
Hudson News is at most gate areas throughout Pittsburgh International Airport — a reliable last-minute stop for charging cables, snacks, OTC medicine, and reading material before any departure.
Tech & electronics
Best Buy Express kiosks and InMotion Entertainment in the airside concourses carry headphones, chargers, and travel electronics; FuelRods charging-kit kiosks are also available around the terminal for phone power on the go.
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
Established airside-concourse retail includes Giorgio Armani, Hugo Boss, Brooks Brothers, Lacoste, Furla, Tumi, Pandora, Sunglass Hut, Johnston & Murphy, and Ecco. The new terminal's Center Core adds MAC Cosmetics and Hammer Made (a Pittsburgh-founded menswear/accessories brand), plus Champion City Sports for Steelers/Penguins/Pirates apparel and memorabilia, including Build-A-Bear and Vera Bradley collaborations and an interactive sports simulator.
Best shopping area
The new terminal's pre-security Center Core is PIT's best one-stop shopping area — Hudson, MAC Cosmetics, Champion City Sports, and Duquesne & Co. have all been clustered there since the terminal opened November 18, 2025. For duty-free and the higher-end fashion brands, Concourse C and the other airside concourses (reached via the Skybridge) are the better stop.
Pro Tip
PIT's new landside terminal is now separated from the gates by the Skybridge, so shop pre-security in the Center Core for local Pittsburgh gifts and grab-and-go items before the single 12-lane checkpoint — the duty-free counter and legacy brand-name shops are all airside, past security in Concourse C and beyond.
