The Queenston Lewiston Duty Free store is always a convenient and enjoyable stop. While the parking lot layout feels a bit odd—some spaces are oversized while others are a little tight—the overall access is fine. Inside, the washrooms are well maintained and very clean, which is always appreciated during travel. The store itself is spacious, comfortable to browse, and offers a wide selection. I especially enjoy checking out their special editions of alcohol and liquor, which you don’t often find elsewhere. A reliable and pleasant duty-free experience every time.

Last Friday, December 12th 2025, my family and I had the displeasure of stopping at Lewiston Duty free on our way over the border. After using the bathroom we went inside the shop to potentially purchase something. We checked out the fragrances and chocolates whilst my mom looked at the liquors. We eventually decided not to get anything and proceeded to leave. On our way out after my group exited my mom and I was the last in line to exit. She passed through but the alarm beeped when I was going through. There were three persons standing at the counter one male and two females. I looked at them and indicated that I did not purchase anything the guy said that it was fine I could leave. Whilst walking to the car my mom asked me to purchase a bottle of wine that she saw. We then returned to the shop, the male attendant saw me enter as I was going the wrong way and he directed me to the correct entrance. I approached him and asked about the wine that my mom wanted but he advised that because we were going for a day trip it was not feasible to purchase alcohol. Again o my exit the alarm was triggered, he saw me enter and exit but his colleague approached me along with him to search my person. I was carrying a small tote bag that contained my make-up bag, some medications, keys, $US4000, $CDN1200 and a few small things. Imagine my shock to be asked to hand over my bag for inspection with the public looking even though I indicated that they were all my personal stuff as I did not make a purchase at the shop. After examination they found nothing that belonged to them or of interest. I am a professional in my right but was not feeling very well that day. If I did not have a minor in my group I would have called the cops to check my stuff for verification purposes. I am yet contemplating what course of action I should take for being unduly embarrassed and harassed at the Lewiston Duty Free shop. I believe that by looking a certain way bears an easier target for them to point fingers at.

Compared to last time I visited, the place has less options. Wish there was promotions and sales. However the restaurant was very clean and staff very helpful, especially the lady helping with the perfumes. They have some good chocolates.

Great place to stop and grab a few things tax free before you cross back over into the United States. Lots of great selections to choose from.
