Shopping
Fort Myers (RSW) Airport Shopping
Shopping at Southwest Florida 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
No dedicated duty-free retailer. Hudson carries a small duty-free selection tied to RSW's international departure schedule (seasonal Eurowings Discover service to Frankfurt and Air Canada/WestJet flights to Toronto) rather than operating a standalone duty-free storefront — availability depends on which international flights are running that day.
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 (news, magazines, travel essentials) operates post-security in the concourses; the pre-security Coastal News stand in the main terminal permanently closed in February 2026 as part of the terminal expansion project.
Convenience & travel essentials
Post-security options include Hudson-branded shops and Beaches Boardwalk-style stands across Concourses B, C, and D. Pre-security, only a Grab & Go kiosk near Baggage Claim Door 2 and Beaches Travelmart (inside the remaining Dunkin' locations) are open — most other pre-security retail closed permanently during the 2025–2026 expansion.
Hudson News is at most gate areas throughout Southwest Florida 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 (no InMotion or Best Buy Express confirmed at RSW). Hudson carries basic phone chargers, cables, and headphones but nothing beyond convenience-level 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
Fashion retail is limited to Florida-themed gift/apparel shops such as A Day at the Beach, Sanibel Marketplace, and Coastal Expressions, which sell resort wear and beach-branded merchandise rather than name-brand fashion. Brighton Collectibles and the PGA Tour Shop, both formerly in the main terminal, permanently closed in February 2026.
Best shopping area
Post-security Concourses B and D currently have the most retail density (Hudson, Casa Bacardi, Sanibel Marketplace, The Shell Factory); the pre-security main terminal has lost most of its shops to the ongoing Terminal Expansion Project and now offers minimal retail.
Pro Tip
RSW is in the middle of a major terminal expansion (Phase 1) that permanently closed most pre-security main-terminal and Concourse C shops in 2025–2026 — do your shopping after security on Concourse B or D, and don't count on picking up gifts before you clear the checkpoint.
