Jack’s Western and Outdoor Wear Founder Larry Allred named Bronze Alabama Retailer of the Year

GOOD HOPE, Ala. — For Larry Allred, the story of Jack’s Western and Outdoor Wear has always been about more than boots and western wear. It is a story of family, hard work and a community that helped shape his life. Fifty years after opening a small store connected to Jack’s Truck Stop and Café, Allred has grown the Good Hope business into a nearly 30,000-square-foot destination. In recognition of his success and the legacy he has built over five decades, Allred has been named the Bronze Alabama Retailer of the Year by the Alabama Retail Association. Allred’s connection to the business runs deep. As a boy, he spent long days working on his grandfather’s farm. In 2013, he purchased that same land, once owned by his great grandfather, and built the store that stands there today. As Allred puts it, “We are still working the land.” Family remains at the heart of the business. His daughters, Sara Allred Barnett and Kristin Allred Mazur, and son-in-law Les Barnett help keep Jack’s moving forward, while all four grandchildren pitch in, too. From boots and inventory to marketing and modeling outfits, everyone finds a way to contribute. Allred’s commitment to community is

Construction begins on Bella Balle Condominiums in downtown Cullman

CULLMAN, Ala. – Construction has begun on Bella Balle Condominiums, a three-story development that will add four condominiums and ground-floor commercial space to downtown Cullman, according to the Cullman Economic Development Agency (CEDA). Stephen Gannon’s project is expected to take 12-14 months to complete. Susan Eller, CEDA’s retail and workforce development manager, provided the construction update following a groundbreaking for the building. Public real estate listings place the development at 208 Fourth St. SE, adjacent to Hele Bowls and 412 Public House, which Gannon owns. Plans call for commercial space on the first floor, with two condominiums on each of the second and third floors, Eller said. “One has already been sold to a local family,” she said in her written update. Eller did not identify the buyer or disclose the purchase price. Real estate listings provide additional details about the residential portion of the project. The advertised units have three bedrooms and two bathrooms, with listed floor areas ranging from 1,983 to 2,040 square feet. Asking prices range from $649,900 to $699,900. Those figures are advertised prices, not confirmed sale prices. A listing dated Nov. 3 advertises Unit 2B, a 2,040-square-foot condominium, for $649,900. The listing provides another look
