About this location
Set near Gate H-4 in the South Terminal, this is one of two Bead Factory locations at MIA, and the only shop standing nearby is an InMotion electronics store rather than another jewelry or gift shop. That pairing puts it closer to a tech-and-accessories stretch of Concourse H than to a cluster of similar retailers. It opens at 6am and closes at 8pm, well before the evening departure banks out of this gate, so it won't be an option for anyone passing through H-4 later at night.
