About Martin's

Three Generations. One Family. Since 1959.

What started as a small neighborhood shoe store in Hope, Arkansas has grown into a destination for fashion, footwear, gifts, and Southern lifestyle brands. While much has changed over the years, one thing has remained the same — our commitment to serving customers with integrity, kindness, and genuine hospitality.

In 1959, Earl and Sammy Martin opened the doors to Martin's with a simple goal: provide quality products and exceptional service to their community. Through hard work, dedication, and the support of loyal customers, that small shoe store continued to grow and evolve. Today, Martin's spans more than 15,000 square feet and serves customers from across the country while remaining proudly rooted in Hope, Arkansas.

Built on Faith, Family & Service

As a third-generation family business, Martin's continues to be guided by the values that shaped the company from the beginning. Family remains actively involved in every part of the business, from selecting products and planning future growth to creating an exceptional shopping experience for every customer who walks through our doors.

Our faith in God and commitment to treating others according to the Golden Rule influence how we do business every day. We believe shopping should feel personal, welcoming, and enjoyable, and we strive to make every customer feel like part of the Martin's family.

From Shoes to So Much More

While Martin's began as a shoe store, today you'll find much more than footwear. Our collections include women's fashion, men's apparel, juniors styles, gifts, home décor, accessories, school spirit merchandise, and many of the brands our customers have trusted for years.

Footwear remains at the heart of what we do, but our mission has expanded to help customers find products that fit every part of their lives—from everyday essentials and special occasions to game days, holidays, and meaningful gifts.

Proud to Call Hope Home
