Looking for the Best Shopping in Montrose, Colorado? Try Murdoch's!

The main attraction in Montrose, Colorado may not be shopping.  So, it’s a good thing I’m not much of a shopper.  We do have of a few big box stores, like WalMart and Home Depot.  We also have couple of relatively new shopping centers, Oxbow Crossing and River Landing with Target, J.C. Penney, Sports Authority, famous footwear, and the Natural Grocer, and a local favorite, The Looney Bean coffee shop.  Oxbow Crossing is where you'll find a medley of specialty stores and restaurants, along with a couple of fitness centers.  But my most favorite place to shop in Montrose is . . . believe it or not . . . Murdoch’s Ranch & Home Supply!

If you’re new to Montrose, Colorado, or even just visiting and have never been to a Murdoch's, be sure to stop into this store.  It does have, in fact, a great inventory of ranch equipment and supplies.  For that reason, you'll find a lot of real cowboys and ranch hands.  There is, however, a lot to offer the homeowner, as well, such as patio furniture, garden supplies, yard art, portable fire pits, fencing and supplies, garden equipment and tools.  Murdoch's in It also carries all your horse supplies, including a pretty good assortment of tack.  You can find everything you need for cats and dogs and other small animals in the pet section.  You can even buy your baby chicks in season at Murdoch’s in Montrose.

Murdoch’s  wonderful gift department is one of my favorites, featuring beautiful western style jewelry, pottery, paintings and prints, blankets, handbags, greeting cards, and other knick knacks.  Murdoch’s is definitely the place to go to get yourself outfitted in western apparel, whether you’re the real McCoy or just an urban cowboy.  You'll find plenty of both kinds in Montrose, Colorado. 

Actually, Murdoch's to me is a rather good reflection of the wonderfully rural, active, and diverse lifestyle we lead on the Colorado Western Slope.   It is also all I need in one-stop shopping.   And for those of you for whom it is not, well, there is always Mesa Mall in Grand Junction.
