Tecovas Inc., a handmade boot and Western-wear retailer founded and headquartered in Austin, Texas, is opening a location in Perkins Rowe, according to a permit filed with the East Baton Rouge Parish Permits and Inspections Division.

When reached by phone, a Tecovas representative confirmed that the Perkins Rowe store has an estimated opening date of Nov. 18.

MAPP Construction has been contracted by Tecovas to remodel the retail space at a cost of $825,000, according to documents filed with the East Baton Rouge Parish Clerk of Court’s office.

Tecovas’ website shows that the company currently has 21 stores in 11 states, but Perkins Rowe will be the retailer’s first in Louisiana.

How much money is in BOOTS to justify a $825k renovation?

They’re gonna need another Garth concert to sell enough boots to justify that remodel.

They seem to be doing well based on this article:

quote:

Tecovas is projecting over $200 million in gross sales this year (which the company calculates as revenue after discounts, but before refunds from returns) after growing more than 70% last year. The company was also profitable last year.


quote:

Another big area of focus will be adding new product lines. Tecovas got its start selling cowboy boots, but now 20% of its revenue comes from accessories like leather wallets, as well as men’s apparel. This year, Tecovas will expand that assortment to include women’s clothing. Put together, Tecovas’ next phase of growth is centered around reaching new types of customers and transforming the company from a regional name into a nationally-recognized brand.

They're not marketing to rednecks from the LP
This is what the stores look like:

So many wannabe “baws” on this site always circle jerking to their boots, I guess they figured here was as good a place as any to open.

We can all laugh at the urban cowboys, but this seems like a pretty damn solid company for baton rouge to pull in.
