Old Pueblo Traders® began in 1946 as
a direct mail retailer of fine Southwestern fashions, moccasins,
and Native American crafts and jewelry. Old Pueblo served
customers from across the United States, many who discovered
them in their small store on Country Club Road while vacationing
in Tucson, Arizona. Courteous service, unique selection,
and fair pricing won them a loyal following, and they count
some of those original patrons among their customers of
today.
As the times changed, so did OPTs. Their
focus shifted from crafts and jewelry to fashions and shoes,
and broadened beyond the Southwest. By the 1960's, they
were showing all the latest styles in a large, full-color
glossy catalog that was mailed across the country to thousands
of customers. By 1990 that number had grown to millions
and the changes came fast and furiously, as they relocated
their business to a larger office/warehouse/customer service
campus that today accommodates about 1,000 associates.
