Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) has announced the opening of the first Kendra Scott store inside an airport, in partnership with concession partner Paradies Lagardère. The new location, situated in the Barbara Jordan Terminal, opened on January 9, 2026.
The Kendra Scott brand, founded in Austin in 2002, is known for its distinctive jewelry designs and use of color. The new store aims to provide travelers with a shopping experience that reflects the brand’s local roots and offers signature products and experiences.
“We are thrilled to welcome Kendra Scott to AUS, bringing one of Austin’s most celebrated brands directly to our passengers,” said Ghizlane Badawi, AUS Chief Executive Officer. “This opening reflects our commitment to elevating the travel experience with more local offerings that showcase the creativity, culture, and entrepreneurial spirit of Austin. We’re grateful to be the home of the very first Kendra Scott airport store.”
Kendra Scott, Founder and Chief Visionary Officer of her namesake company, stated: “Austin has always been home for me and our brand, so being able to open a store at Austin-Bergstrom is incredibly special. Whether you’re arriving or heading out, we’re excited to welcome travelers and give them the opportunity to experience everything we love about our brand and this city. From Game Day to seasonal moments and everyday celebrations and milestones, there’s truly something for everyone, and our hope is this store will feel like a little piece of Austin wherever your journey takes you.”
Aaron Bonham from Paradies Lagardère commented: “We’re proud of our partnership with Kendra Scott and have enjoyed a strong, collaborative relationship with the brand for many years. It’s a privilege to introduce Kendra Scott’s first dedicated airport store to AUS, bringing their distinctive design and local spirit to travelers and enhancing the airport’s thoughtfully curated retail program.”
