These aren’t fancy boutiques with tiny portions. They’re Alabama butcher counters built for people...

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

AL ratepayers feel energy costs as national groups claim midterm wins

CORRECTION: An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated that Alabama's utility regulators were not on this year's ballot. In fact, two seats on the Alabama Public Service Commission were up for election on November 3. Republicans Matt Gentry and Jim Zeigler won those races. The story has been updated to reflect this. (12:19 PM ET, November 6, 2026) Environmental groups said energy costs are among the concerns driving voters to the polls this week and they are claiming victories in state races nationwide. In Alabama, lawmakers this year passed the Power to the People Act to expand the Public Service Commission and freeze base retail rates through 2029. Supporters said it eases frustration over high bills but critics argued it was gutted. Pete Maysmith. president of the League of Conservation Voters, said energy issues helped Democrats' success in the midterms. "This was a wave, and what that means is that where we went on offense, deep into Trump territory, and where the margins were razor thin, that energy-bill voters who we targeted made the difference. And this movement played a really big role in making that happen," Maysmith asserted. The groups said they invested more than $125 million reaching
