100 Southside Eskimo Creek means this “airport shop” is actually town
Alaska Commercial Company in King Salmon sits at 100 Southside Eskimo Creek, a few minutes’ drive from terminal 1 rather than inside the building. Hours run Monday–Saturday 7:30 AM–7:00 PM and Sunday 9:30 AM–5:00 PM, so this is a real grocery/outfitter stop for the Bristol Bay crowd, not a newsstand by gate 1. It serves locals heading up the Naknek River as much as travelers who flew in on Ravn or charters and now need supplies.
Think full store: groceries, household basics, probably some fishing or outdoor gear, not just candy near a register. Reddit calls ACC stock “mixed but usually decently thorough,” which fits the town-store vibe. Expect higher prices than Anchorage or the Lower 48; regulars just accept it because it’s predictable and avoids a 300‑mile headache. Call 907-246-6109 if you want to confirm any big-ticket items before you head over from the airfield.
What regulars do: treat this like a known fallback. They swing through for staples, freezer items, and bigger re-supply runs, then use ACC’s shipping-oriented setup to move goods onward. One Yelp review mentioned an order arriving “frozen solid and packed in a cooler with plenty of dry rice,” which tells you staff handle remote shipments all the time. People also double-check if this specific format sells liquor, since not every ACC location does.
Watch out for pricing and stock gaps. Travelers repeatedly describe ACC as “expensive,” and “mixed” inventory means you may not find a niche ingredient at 6:45 PM on a Tuesday. Build a buffer: land, grab the hotel shuttle or a local taxi, and hit ACC once with a written list so you’re not burning extra trips between the airport and Southside Eskimo Creek.
