Delawareans will get their first look Wednesday at Boot Barn, the California-based Western wear and boot store chain.
The company’s Stanton store, located in Center Pointe Plaza off Churchmans Road, will hold a soft opening Wednesday. An “official grand opening weekend” event is scheduled for March 25-27, according to Boot Barn spokesperson Jessica Burford.
Boot Barn took over the former Modell’s Sporting Goods next to TJ Maxx and Ross. Construction crews began renovating the interior of the store in January.
Boot Barn calls itself the largest Western and work wear retailer in the country. It’s added more than 200 stores and expanded to 29 new states in the past decade.

The Northeast is the only region Boot Barn has yet to gain a foothold in. The company’s closest stores to the Stanton location are in Whitehall, Pennsylvania, and Wyomissing, Pennsylvania. It also has three stores in western Pennsylvania and four stores in Virginia.
The staples of Boot Barn’s offerings are its cowboy-style boots for men and women. Boot Barn also sells cowboy hats and jeans, and in recent years expanded to baseball hats, hiking boots, dresses and other fashion-forward items in an attempt to broaden its customer base.
The products come from a mix of Boot Barn’s own brands and outside brands such as Wrangler, Levi’s, John Deere and Carhartt.
During the grand opening weekend, Boot Barn will have a sale, prize drawings and musical performances.
