Airport retail just made a power move. ShopAll Fans, a trading card and fan collectibles retailer, opens a pilot store on Tuesday, Nov. 17, at Harry Reid International Airport.

The store sits in Terminal 1, in the pre-security shopping area in front of Starbucks and Wendy's. The airport is at 5757 Wayne Newton Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89119.

A Vending Machine Company Bets on a Real Store

Know the owner and the move makes sense. The ShopAll Fans brand is owned by Prepango, an airport automated retail company.

This opening marks Prepango's expansion beyond automated vending machines into a dedicated retail storefront. A pilot means the company tests the format in public before it commits wider.

Las Vegas gets the test for a clear reason. President Marcos Modiano pointed to the city's flow of visitors, its professional athletes, major sporting events, and entertainment experiences.

Cards, Grading, and a Racing Simulator Inside

The concept reimagines the traditional sports card store as an immersive destination. Fans can discover collectibles, interact with innovative technology, and feel the excitement of sports card collecting firsthand, according to the company's press release.

Two services carry the offer:

  • Professional grading submissions. Collectors can submit trading cards for professional grading and retrieve them once the process is complete.
  • An in-store Formula 1 racing simulator. The simulator adds a hands-on attraction in a city heading into race week.

Modiano said it plainly: "With millions of visitors traveling through the city each year and an increasing concentration of professional athletes, major sporting events and entertainment experiences, we see tremendous opportunity to capitalize on the growing demand for sports collectibles even when on the go."

He added: "Our pre-security location allows us to reach both arriving and departing travelers, creating a retail destination that extends beyond traditional airport shopping."

Why Pre-Security Is the Smartest Spot in the Building

Here is the insight most airport shops cannot copy. A store past security sells only to ticketed passengers on one trip.

A pre-security store sells to arriving travelers, departing travelers, and the people meeting them. Reporting by FOX5 noted that no boarding pass or TSA line is needed to reach it.

Timing sharpens the bet. The Nov. 17 opening lands ahead of the holiday travel rush, and FOX5 reported the airport handled more than 8.5 million passengers in November and December 2025.

Use it like this:

  1. Drop a grading submission on a Terminal 1 trip instead of making a separate hobby shop run.
  2. Build a few extra minutes into a pickup or drop-off and browse before you leave the terminal.
  3. Check hours before a special trip. Store hours and square footage have not been announced.

That is clean execution. A known category, a steady flow of fans, and a location anyone can reach. Watch this pilot closely.
