In 1994, John opened the doors to his first store. On that inaugural day in Bozeman, Montana, the flagship store was outfitted with five eager employees, 18 big, wide parking spaces out front, and more than a few crossed fingers and toes. The hope was that the new store would appeal to the town’s local ranchers, the local outdoor community, and, well, most everyone else. It turns out that John was onto something, and by 1996 the bustling store needed room to grow. That’s when he moved the store to its present location in Bozeman. The store spread like wildfire, and two short years later Murdoch’s expanded yet again; this time to almost 50,000 square feet with literally thousands of first-rate products on the floor. Along the way, more stores opened in Montana and other all-American towns like Montrose, Colorado, and Cheyenne, Wyoming.
Today, Murdoch’s is proud to have stores spanning five states as well as an e-commerce website. Our family of stores is staffed with approximately 2,000 dedicated, friendly, and knowledgeable employees who are ready to help.
We are happy to have you along with us on this journey. Stay tuned as we write this new chapter of our story.
