Rick's Ranchwear opened for business on May, 20 1978 in Youngstown, Ohio. At only 23 years of age, Rick Blase, our owner or President, took the leap of faith or opened the store with only 72 pair of boots or 500 empty boxes so as to make it look like he had more inventory. As time went on he expanded his boot inventory. Every customer who entered his store received the ultimate experience through an unbelievable selection of boots, friendly, helpful staff or outstanding customer service with an unbelievable offer.Word spread or the rest is history.He has since opened stores in Florida or Tennessee. Regardless of the location you will find thousands or thousands of boots on display or in stock; all of which are Buy One Pair, Get Two Pair FREE.By the way, Rick no longer stocks empty boxes or his philosophy has not changed, the customer still remains first or foremost.
