In accordance with the St. Louis County Stay at Home Order, Alpine Shop Kirkwood has temporarily closed its doors beginning Monday, March 23 as the nation, and our neighborhoods, continue to fight the spread of coronavirus.

Alpine Shop Columbia (Mo.) and our Manhattan, Kan., location - The Pathfinder – will remain open for the time being under the same regional and national guidelines and laws that we have followed since this pandemic began. Alpine Shop's web store - www.alpineshop.com - will continue to serve as a way for our customers to browse our products and support a local business, as well.

Alpine Shop's co-owners, Russell "Holly" and Lisa Hollenbeck, appreciate all the support the community has shown not only over the past few weeks, but also has provided over the past 47 years.

The Kirkwood location becomes the second Alpine Shop location to temporarily close during the coronavirus pandemic. The Chesterfield, Mo., store, closed earlier in March. As soon as the threat is over, all Alpine Shop locations will re-open as quickly as possible.
