ALAMOGORDO, N.M. — Alamogordo’s growing business community welcomed two new additions this week, with local officials and residents turning out to mark the openings.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held at Ollie’s, on July 2nd, 2026 drawing a crowd of community members, city officials, and supporters. Mayor Sharon McDonald was on hand to help cut the ribbon, adding a show of city support to the new venture as it officially opened its doors at White Sands Mall.
Meanwhile, on New York Avenue in the heart of Alamogordo’s downtown district, Pink Flamingo Funky Finds held a soft opening, giving shoppers an early look at the store ahead of its full launch. The consignment shop joins a wave of new retail and dining spots that have been opening along the corridor as part of the city’s ongoing downtown revitalization push.

The back-to-back openings reflect a broader trend of new investment in Alamogordo, where MainStreet-driven redevelopment efforts have been credited with drawing new shops and entrepreneurs to the area over the past year. City leaders have pointed to this kind of small-business growth as a key part of downtown’s continued momentum.
Both businesses are now open to the public, with more details on hours and offerings expected to follow as each settles into its new home.
Overcast, with a high of 92 and low of 73 degrees. Overcast in the morning, patchy rain nearby during the afternoon and evening, overcast overnight.
A Good man. Congrats Judge Cutts!
My family has been fishing and hiking around Bonito lake for well over 60 years we were very saddened when It was closed after the little bear fire but very happy when it opened. It should never be closed to recreational fishing and camping.
any city/town/village not looking after their water supplies, treatment facilities and delivery systems is being administered by idiots, i.e. timberon. and another opportunity to repeat that no data centers should be considered viable in the southwest unless they give prior commitments to supply <
about as useful outcome as could be hoped for...but i still wonder about the commission meeting on the 22nd - trust but verify.
S'cuse me, but ain't there already another empty observatory outside Downtown Cloudcroft? *** is the pearl-clutching about? No frickin' tourists are going to tour an old hunk of junk. A ****** bar's what we need.
A what? Whats a **** bar?
