Alexander's Store

Alexander's started in 1953 as a small trading post. Hoyt and Ruby Alexander had a simple philosophy: if someone asked for something they didn't have, they'd track it down. That customer-first instinct built a legacy.

When their son Eddy joined in 1977, he added hardware and firearms. His wife Sandy came next with bigger expansion plans—clothing, shoes, furniture. By the mid-'90s, Alexander's had grown from a tiny outpost to a sprawling department store. Today it's 50,000 square feet of retail space, still family-owned and still growing.

"Alexander's is more than just a store. It bears witness to how a legacy of love and service can become tangible."
