Best Sellers in Missoula, Montana By Madison Dapcevich

Rockin Rudy’s

Locals know it as a store that offers “everything you don’t need but can’t live without” and Rockin Rudy’s is a Missoula staple unlike any other. Customers can get a feel for the store’s enthusiastic vibe as soon as they walk in through the door. Rockin Rudy’s stocks many fun products including dancing Elvis memorabilia, gourmet Montana foods, local jewelry and the biggest selections of music in Missoula. Shoppers can also find DVDs, CDs, clothing, gift cards, stationery, and bumper stickers.

The store opened in 1982 as a place to rent records. After buying an old bakery building, owner Micklus “stuffed every nook and cranny with an eclectic and unexpected mix of products.”

Local art and photography is displayed (and sold) wherever there is room on the tight shelves.
