Overview
Duckwall-ALCO Stores, Inc. has had a successful, reliable history of growth over its 109-year history.
Based in Abilene, Kansas since 1901, we have successfully grown the company from its first single retail store in Abilene, to the popular 258
store retail chain which operates in 23 states today, while still maintaining our personal mission of providing convenient, friendly, small-town
service.
With that mission in mind, we have developed an innovative market and growth strategy. Since the late 1980’s, Duckwall-ALCO has specifically
targeted smaller communities with limited access to other regional or national full-line retail chains for expansion to offer these towns more
convenient shopping. The strategy has been a success from day one, and we continue to enjoy serving those markets. In fact, the strategy has
earned us a reputation as a progressive innovator in the retail industry.
Today, our stores achieve annual sales of $475 million, and we continue to open new stores each year, continuing our successful track record
of 109 years of steady, consistent growth.
