Whether you're jet-setting to Europe, catching the red eye to visit family, or heading to a Caribbean beach, Houston! offers passengers one last chance to buy uniquely Houston items that capture the flair and spirit of Houston faithful.
An unmistakable beacon of local pride catches the eye as passengers navigate George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH). The name is simple yet evocative—Houston!—a retail store that offers passengers an authentic connection to the city's spirit, allowing them to carry a piece of Houston wherever they go.
Nestled conveniently at Gates A7 and C32, Houston! is more than just a stopover for last-minute gifts. It's a carefully curated celebration of the Bayou City's rich culture and indomitable spirit. From NASA-inspired spacesuits for budding young astronauts to gear emblazoned with the logos of Houston's beloved sports teams—the Astros, Texans and Rockets—each item is a testament to the city's dynamic identity.
University of Houston and Texas A&M apparel allows alums and fans to show their colors wherever their travels take them.
"The goal of Houston! is to encapsulate our city's vibrant, colorful and diverse spirit, allowing travelers to connect with and represent Houston, no matter where they're headed," said Libby Hurley, Assistant Director of Concessions for Houston Airports. "We want every passenger to feel like they're taking a piece of Houston with them, something uniquely tied to our city's identity."

The offerings extend far beyond just one store. Across both Bush Airport and William P. Hobby Airport (HOU), a variety of retail locations embrace the Lone Star State's flair. At Hobby Airport, travelers can grab a Houston Astros cap from the 47Brand Hats vending machine or explore Houston and Texas-themed items at outlets like CNBC Smartshop, HMart and Space Corner.
Meanwhile, Bush Airport offers an even more comprehensive array of options, from Americana and Culturemap to Texas Monthly News and Univision stores. Whether you're seeking a memento of your visit or a taste of home before a long flight, these stores ensure that Houston's spirit is never more than a few steps away.
"Houston Airports is committed to connecting the world to Houston, not just through its flights, but also through the authentic experiences offered on the ground," said Hurley. "The retail offerings at both airports reflect the city's dynamic character. And for some passengers, their time in our airports is their only experience of Houston. From keychains to caps, we are seizing every chance for travelers to engage with the heart of Houston and carry it with them, wherever their journey leads."
