LAST-MINUTE ESSENTIALS
Last-minute travel essentials in San Antonio.
Forgot a charger, sunscreen, medicine or a gift to bring home? We're steps from the Riverwalk, the Alamo and the Convention Center.
FORGOT SOMETHING WHILE TRAVELING?
It happens to almost every visitor.
You unpack at the hotel and realize the phone charger, sunscreen or children's pain reliever is still at home. It happens to almost every traveler — and downtown, the last thing you want is a rideshare to a big-box store on the highway.
Time Out Stores exists for exactly this moment. Our four shops sit inside The Shops at Rivercenter at 849 E Commerce Street — steps from the major downtown attractions and the stop that keeps your trip moving.

PHONE CHARGERS & ELECTRONICS
When your phone dies on the Riverwalk.
A dead battery is more than an inconvenience when you're using your phone for maps, rideshares, restaurant reservations, barge tickets and family photos. We stock USB-C and Lightning cables, wall chargers, fast-charge wall plugs, portable power banks and the small accessories travelers reach for most — earbuds, headphones, basic adapters and replacement cables. If you only need enough power to get through dinner and the walk back to your hotel, a quick stop is all it takes.

OTC MEDICINE & HEALTH ESSENTIALS
Over-the-counter help when you need it.
Long days on foot, late nights downtown and unfamiliar food can catch up to anyone. We carry the trusted over-the-counter brands travelers know by name — pain relievers, fever reducers, allergy medication, cold and flu remedies, digestive aids, motion-sickness tablets, antacids and rehydration products. For families, we stock children's pain and fever options, electrolyte drinks and basic first-aid supplies like bandages, antiseptic wipes and blister care.
If you're not sure whether we carry something specific, our staff is happy to help — just ask, or send us a quick note from the contact page before you visit.
SNACKS & DRINKS
Snacks and drinks for exploring downtown.
San Antonio summers are hot, and the Riverwalk is longer than it looks on a map. Our cooler walls are restocked throughout the day with cold bottled water, sodas, sparkling water, juices, iced coffee, energy drinks and sports drinks. Grab a quick bite from the snack aisle — chips, candy, trail mix, jerky, protein bars, nuts and grab-and-go options that travel well in a backpack or stroller.
See the full snacks and drinks selection, or pair it with a stop for souvenirs and gifts before heading back to your hotel.
SOUVENIRS BEFORE HEADING HOME
A piece of San Antonio to take with you.
The last morning of a trip is usually rushed. There's a checkout time, a ride to the airport and the realization that you never picked up something for the kids, the neighbors or the coworkers covering your shifts. Our souvenirs and gifts aisle is built for exactly that moment: Texas-themed apparel, Alamo and Riverwalk keepsakes, magnets, keychains, shot glasses, Day of the Dead gifts, postcards and small mementos that fit in a carry-on.
Since all four stores share one address, you can grab a last-minute gift on the way out and still make your flight.
