Anchorage Midnight Sun: A Visitor’s Guide to 24-Hour Daylight
Shopping in Eagle River
Eagle River's shopping options serve the community with a practical mix of everyday retail, local businesses, and specialty shops along the main commercial corridors. While Eagle River does not have the shopping density of central Anchorage, the community supports grocery stores, hardware stores, gift shops, and small businesses that reflect the area's mountain-town character. The Fred Meyer shopping center provides one-stop shopping for groceries, clothing, and household goods. Local shops and boutiques along the Old Glenn Highway offer gifts, outdoor gear, and products with an Alaskan touch. During the holiday season, community bazaars and craft fairs pop up in Eagle River, offering handmade goods from local artisans. For major retail shopping, the stores and malls of Midtown and South Anchorage are a short drive down the Glenn Highway. Our guide to shopping in Eagle River helps you find the local businesses and stores that make this community self-sufficient and charming.
