US. BAA Cleveland, developer of the Airmall shopping complex at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, has announced the opening of a new Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum Store.
The new shop is modelled on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in downtown Cleveland and is described as a signature retail unit and part of the concessions redevelopment at the airport.
Located just beyond the Concourse B security checkpoint, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum Store carries clothing for men, women and children, Hall of Fame memorabilia, and gifts and accessories.
A wall-sized graphic on the outside depicts a timeline of major rock’n’roll events and the side of the store features seven plasma screens that showcase sights and sounds of famous rock moments and videos.

“With rock and roll, authenticity is everything,” said BAA Cleveland Vice President Tina LaForte. “That’s why BAA Cleveland made certain that unit operators consulted the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in downtown Cleveland for its input on both the merchandising mix and the design of the store.
“Rock aficionados and music enthusiasts of every stripe will certainly appreciate the wide selection of apparel and gifts, and everything is at regular mall prices,” LaForte added.
Cleveland Airport System Director Ricky Smith said: “No visit to Cleveland is complete without a stop at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. It is part of this region’s identity, and we’re very proud of it. That is why we are pleased to welcome the Hall of Fame’s presence at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport. We know that the new store will contribute to offering a signature shopping experience for travellers.”
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum Store is open from Sunday to Friday from 6am to 8.30pm and on Saturday from 6am to 7pm.
