My husband and I try to shop all of their stores. This trip we made the Anchorage & Talkeetna stores. If you are looking for truly unique Alaskan items, this is the place. In addition to the normal fare, they offer rare and one of a kind items that are Alaskan made. We purchased a metal sculpture of a musher and dog team that sits on our mantel. Once in a Blue Moose is always a must shop stop and we always find custom items for our home.

This is for the Talkeetna store;Great shop for local tourism shopping, with a nice selection of items and friendly and helpful staff. We bought several items and enjoyed the experience. VictorB

I visited this store today with my elderly mother to look for souvenirs for family out of town. Upon entering I was greeted by the clerk, I looked around, and I didn’t see anything I wanted. When walking out I passed the register and the clerk accusatively said, “You gonna pay for those socks?” Implying that I had shoved something in my pocket and was shoplifting, which I had certainly not. He continued to do so, causing a scene, until I offered to show him what I had in my pockets, jacket, etc. (No socks). He was extremely unprofessional and rude and no customer should have to go through such an experience. As a local I will never return to this store and discourage anyone from doing so. Management should seriously consider this man’s employment.

Right across the street from the visitor center (log cabin). A great place to pop in to get the items you forgot (bid spray, etc...) before taking off on a tour. Also a big selection of those must have souvenirs.

I visited several souvenir shops in the downtown area, and this was the ONLY one that actually had chocolates! Everyone had jams and taffy and caramels, but I'm a chocolate fiend, so finding any at all was a nice surprise. The rest of the items were similar to what was in other stores, but definitely stop in here for some chocolates.
