 Of the two stores in town this is the one I go to the most.  The Alaska Commercial Company claims to have been around since Alaska was bought from Russia but it has changed names and hands so much it doesn't even resemble the original business.  The people who run the store are a family from Virginia.  They agree to stay in the village and run the store for a certain length of time then they move on.  The last family was from New York state.  They moved to a bigger village after leaving here.  Locals are hired to stock and run cash registers while the husband and wife team are the managers.  They live in a house connected to the store. 
Prices are a little higher than they would be in the lower 48, but think of the transportation costs. 


The entire produce section.
