Tuffy, Shawn and Linda Randolph and Randall and Gari Lyn Anderson have opened Cortez Cash & Trade at 24099 Rd. G.2, behind G-Whil Liquors on the south side of Cortez.<\/span>Sam Green\/Cortez Journal<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>

Longtime traders and Montezuma County residents Tuffy and Linda Randolph have opened up a new store, Cortez Cash & Trade in a new building off U.S. Highway 491.<\/p>\n

The Randolphs, who owned a trading post on the Navajo reservation in Arizona for 22 years, said they\u2019re excited to get back into the business. The family moved back to Mancos in 2002 and have been running a bail bonds business. They\u2019ve spent the last few years in Cortez and are looking forward to seeing new faces as well as familiar ones they\u2019ve met along the way.<\/p>\n

\u201cI guess I like dealing the people the most,\u201d said Tuffy. \u201cWe\u2019ve made a lot of friends that I hope will be coming back up to trade with us.\u201d<\/p>\n

The shop is still acquiring merchandise to sell or trade, and shoppers can look forward to a selection of guns, ammo, saddles, tack, hand tools, Navajo art, jewelry, auto trailers, ATVs, boats and more.<\/p>\n

Shop is located in a new custom-built warehouse. The Randolphs wanted something large enough to meet their needs with easy highway access and it made better fiscal sense to build new.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we started looking we couldn\u2019t find anything that would work for our space and storage needs, and it seemed like this was the right side of the highway,\u201d said Tuffy.<\/p>\n

The Cortez Cash Pawn & Trade is located at 24099 Road G.2 in Cortez.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
