Downtown Trading Co. was a tobacco shop, news stand and arts and crafts dealer that operated from 2000 to 2008 at 617 Greensboro Avenue in downtown Tuscaloosa. It was owned by Rod Walker who bought partner Bill Gibson's stake after his death.

Previously, the store was known as Mr Bill's, which traces its history through several owners and a few locations to a cigar store called Indian John's that opened on the same street in 1970.

Downtown Trading displayed the famed Sistine Chukker mural from The Chukker after the legendary bar closed in 2003. The mural has been removed to storage.
