Shuttered Alco stores up for rent or sale in the Eagle Ford Shale

Thousands of square feet worth of retail space that once belonged to bankrupt retain chain Alco Stores Inc. is either up for lease or for sale in several towns inside the Eagle Ford Shale region just south of San Antonio.

After 113 years in business, slumping sales prompted the small town retailer to declare bankruptcy in October and close its 198 stores across the United States, including five stores in Eagle Ford cities Devine, George West, Hebbronville, Cotulla and Yoakum.
