Murdoch’s is proud to have 40 stores spanning Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nebraska, Texas and Wyoming. Our family of stores is staffed with more than 2,200 dedicated team members - all friendly, knowledgeable folks who are there to help!

Along with our industry-leading suppliers and manufacturers, Murdoch’s represents real lives with real stories. We know that our customers depend on us for quality merchandise and a square deal. We’re not big on bells and whistles; however, we do carry both in our stores! Be it a stock tank, dog food, or a pair of cozy socks, one thing is for certain: the trusted brands we carry all measure up to the Murdoch’s name in durability, style, outstanding service and value. We’re big on doing the basics right. We know the value of a hard day’s work, a positive attitude and doing the right thing (even when no one is looking). Above all, we know how to have fun while we’re doing it! Our aim is to earn the trust and loyalty of our customers and to maintain the premium standards of our distinctive western brand.
