Established in 1953 by Frank R. "Red" Stovall, Red's Trading Post buys, sells and trades new and used merchandise. Owner/operator: Eric R. Stovall.
Red's Trading Post began as Red's Hilltop Trading Post in Mill City, OR, circa 1950 by Frank R. Stovall. When construction workers on the Detroit Dam began to move to The Dalles for the next big project, so did Red.
The first RTP The Dalles site opened for business in 1953. The entire business burned to the ground in December 1959. Red rebuilt and concentrated on plumbing, electrical and hardware trade.
Red's son, Eric, joined the business in 1980 and continues to operate at the new location at 2610 W. 2nd street.
In addition to a broad selection of plumbing and electrical supplies, Red's provides the Mid-Columbia area with many hard-to-find and unique items, both new and used. Stop in any time Monday - Saturday, 8 - 5, enjoy a handful of free peanuts, and look around.
