We've all dealt with the eBay seller who thinks Alaska's in a foreign country, or the national retailer that insists on shipping dry goods to Fairbanks via next-day air. Shopping from Alaska can be frustrating. Shopping in Alaska is a different story. From eggs to earrings, pork to potato chips, books to beauty products, there are more local merchants, artists and manufacturers doing business in Alaska today than ever before, keeping Alaska's dollars circulating among Alaskans. Shop 907 keeps an eye on the local marketplace, checking in with Alaska businesses and merchants to find out what's new and exciting in local boutiques, markets, shops and restaurants, as well as taking note of new Outside-owned businesses that join the local retail landscape.
