Pueblo’s Long Time Cowboy Store Closing

We have learned the the famed Clark’s Western Store, being known as the “Cowboy Supply” store for the last years, are closing their doors.  Below is a quote of a message that appeared on the Cowboy Supply Blog and Facebook page in the last few days.  It will be sad to see them go. 
”Attention Cowboy Supply Friends... With a heavy heart, but a smile on our face,  The Famous Cowboy Supply will be closing it's doors forever. We want to express to you, our local and loyal customers our deepest appreciation for your long time support. The fire in our hearts has slowly diminished as our beloved owner Bill Merhoff passed away nearly a year ago now. It seems like just yesterday.
As a final THANK YOU to the Pueblo community our retirement sale will start this FRIDAY November 20th at 9AM sharp. We've cleared out the basement, the back rooms, and the attic and are getting ready for a sale to end all sales. You know we wouldn't consider going out without a BANG!
Sale hours are 9AM to 9PM Friday & Saturday - 10AM to 6PM Sunday. Don't miss these deals for your holiday shopping. Thank you so much! We hope to see you here!”
The store is located at 300 N Main St, Pueblo, Colorado. 719) 43-4383
