One of the trading posts along Interstate 40 in Arizona is the Geronimo Trading Post in Joseph City.
I stopped there and bought a few things back in 2018 following a clampout.
Unfortunately, there is some sad news about the trading post. It comes from Jack Rabbit Trading Post, also from Joseph City.
They posted on Facebook:
Just wanted to get this out there. The Geronimo Trading post is closed at this time. We do not know the outcome for this store.
We are not related in any way to this store. The owners have both passed away & for the last year or so, family members have been opening it off & on. But, it has been completely closed since December. I can imagine how hard it is for family members who are not from here & do not know this business to keep this kind of business afloat.
We have had many customers complaining about them being closed. We try to explain the situation but sometimes people are still upset about it.
Since we are not in any way connected to this store or family, we cannot assume it is easy. And we are not to blame for them being closed!!
It would be sad to lose this trading post. Hopefully, the family can find a buyer who can operate the store successfully.
Google indicates that it is "temporarily closed."
