Month: August 2021

Friday, August 6 through Sunday, August 8, 2021 is Missouri’s Sales Tax Holiday for qualifying back to school purchases. For parents looking to get high quality apparel, shoes and gear that will actually make it through not only this school year, but also years to come, Alpine Shop is the place to shop! 

To qualify, apparel and footwear must be under $100. As long as our price tag says it’s under $100, it qualifies for no state sales tax!

If you’re shopping on-line from outside Missouri, you already won’t have to pay any sales tax. If you’re inside Missouri state lines, the same qualifications are in effect for you as if you stepped inside one of our stores.

On the subject of school gear like backpacks, we understand that very few of our backpacks meet the under-$50-threshold the state requires for the tax holiday. However, we would like to point out that we’re fairly sure most of those under-$50 backpacks you’ll find somewhere else also won’t come with a lifetime guarantee. 

Check out this story on our marketing director’s son’s backpack that lasted not only his kindergarten school year, but all of grade school and high school, too.

Like we’ve said: Why buy them gear that’s built to barely survive one school year when you can outfit them in gear meant to last an entire school career?
