 PROFILE
Some retailers prize locations where they can battle competitors toe-to-toe; Duckwall-ALCO prizes locations the competition wouldn't even consider. The retailer operates more than 170 ALCO discount stores and about 90 Duckwall variety stores in small towns in 20 states in the central US. ALCO stores, situated in towns with populations of 5,000 or fewer, account for about 90% of the company's sales. Product lines include crafts, electronics, fabrics, furniture, hardware, music, toys, and apparel for men, women, and children. The smaller Duckwall stores carry about a third of ALCO's merchandise and are located in towns with populations below 2,500. The 100-year-old company plans to open about five new stores each year.
