"A Tradition of Quality Since 1887"
A unique shopping experience and an historic architectural delight, J.M. Alderson General Merchandise (now known simply as Alderson's) was established by the Alderson family in 1887. The first building burned in the early 1930's and was replaced by the current building, which has one of the most pristine examples of Art Deco store interiors still in existence.
Third generation owners manage the store and continue to make it an anchor in the Alderson Historic District. The building's Art Deco architecture and fixtures - which were designed and created especially for Alderson's - make it a rare jewel in southern West Virginia.
Today, the store is a throw back to the way department stores once were. You'll find old fashioned shop cases featuring a wide selection of jewelry and other accessories, as well as an eclectic mix of antiques, collectibles, gifts, books, home decor, Alderson and West Virginia-related items and more!
This is a true must-see in West Virginia!
