About
Founded in 1976 by Darby McQuade, Jackalope has been in operation in New Mexico for nearly 50 years! In Santa Fe, Jackalope is a home and garden shopping destination that is considered one of the top-twenty shopping locations in all of Santa Fe. In Albuquerque, visitors and local residents enjoy the centrally located shopping gem which is only a minute off the I-25 Highway.
While not identical, both locations have a unique flare and both locations carry products and product lines that the big internet shopping sites cannot and the big national and regional stores do not.
From the homeowner to the apartment dweller, for the person just starting out to the person who has "everything, from the tourist to the local New Mexican, to the person who is looking to find beautiful eclectic and affordable home & garden decor and fabulous out of the ordinary gifts, Jackalope invites you come visit and explore.
Whether you purchase a $5 item or a $500 item, we will greet you with a warm smile and superior customer service. Here are our main product lines, but when you move from department to department, you might just be surprised by all the treasures you find along the way:
In a world of cookie-cutter, big-box chain stores, each Jackalope location has its own, distinctive personality. In a fun but unique world marketplace, Jackalope offers customers an experience that cannot be found at any other retail establishment. With its eclectic array of merchandise, shopping at Jackalope is an experience not to be missed.
Here are just a few unsolicited comments Jackalope has received
"Jackalope captures the spirit of Santa Fe with its vibrant mix of pottery, furniture, and art. The lush green plants are some of the healthiest I’ve seen—like wandering through a hidden garden. And don’t miss Prairie Dog Glass, where you can watch or even try glassblowing yourself under the guidance of talented, funny artists. A colorful, relaxed shopping experience with true New Mexican flair."

"On my recent visit to Jackalope, I discovered that customer service is still alive and well. I was greeted in a friendly manner, assisted with my plant and pottery purchases and encountered 3 people that I would hire if I were a business owner. Owen, Kitini, and Lorenzo. Keep up the great work, and I can't wait to do more shopping there!"

"OMG! What an amazing place! So many great local artisan crafts to choose from. We were just passing through on our way home and wanted to get some pots. I wish we had a truck. Loved the solid wood furniture, the native rugs, the mirrors, even the New Mexico chili!"
— R Otero from Albuquerque
"Forget Canyon Road, when I go to Santa Fe, I go to the Jackalope. I want to bring a uhaul from NY and buy the whole store."
