Shopping
Reno (RNO) Airport Shopping
Shopping at Reno-Tahoe 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. RNO's official shopping and international-travel pages list no duty-free retailer anywhere in the terminal — even for Volaris's international departures to Guadalajara, Mexico City, and Tijuana. (Several third-party travel-info sites claim a duty-free shop exists at RNO, but this appears to be generic template text reused across many small airports and is not corroborated by the airport's own site — treat those claims as unreliable.) If tax-free goods matter to you, plan to buy at your destination instead.
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
travel@ease and Summit Travel (pre-security, in the Terminal Lobby) both carry books, newspapers, and gifts alongside snacks. Post-security, Plane Provisions and Silver State Marketplace (High Mountain Marketplace and concourse areas) stock books, magazines, and local handcrafted items.
Convenience & travel essentials
Silver State Marketplace, travel@ease, and Summit Travel cover snacks and travel basics. ShopAll Pharmacy Vending (toiletries, OTC medication, health items) and Sound & Mobile Accessories Vending machines are available post-security around the clock alongside standard vending and a Lego Vending kiosk.
Hudson News is at most gate areas throughout Reno-Tahoe International Airport — a reliable last-minute stop for charging cables, snacks, OTC medicine, and reading material before any departure.
Tech & electronics
InMotion is RNO's dedicated electronics retailer, post-security in the High Mountain Marketplace area, stocking Apple, Beats, Bose, Fitbit, and JBL products and accessories. A separate Sound & Mobile Accessories vending machine covers basics like headphones and chargers.
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
Brighton Collectibles (jewelry, handbags, accessories), No Boundaries (outdoor/adventure apparel), and the PGA Tour Shop (golf apparel and equipment) make up RNO's specialty retail — leaning into the airport's outdoor-recreation and Lake Tahoe-adjacent identity rather than luxury fashion brands.
Best shopping area
High Mountain Marketplace, the post-security promenade connecting the B and C Concourses built in the 2013 terminal expansion, concentrates most of RNO's retail and dining, including InMotion, Silver State Marketplace, and Plane Provisions.
Pro Tip
Don't expect duty-free at RNO, even on the Volaris international flights — there isn't any. Instead, check the PGA Tour Shop or Brighton Collectibles in the High Mountain Marketplace for something distinctly Reno/Tahoe rather than generic airport retail.
