FEATURED IMPACT EXPANSION A business in Gruene has expanded to oer more Western attire for visitors and residents to purchase at 1601 Hunter Road, Gruene. The Gruene Hat Co. expanded in March to oer a new shop called The Gruene Boot Co . Owner Cody Courtney said he was inspired to bring a Western boot store to New Braunfels to help add to the Southern aesthetic of the area. “We’ve got a fantastic team, and it really kind of drove our condence to say, ‘Let’s take this next step here [and] open up a cowboy boots store,’” Courtney said. “We were just inundated with requests the last four years by people buying a cowboy hat for the rst time. … We were just shocked that there’s really no one within Gruene or New Braunfels, frankly, that had a real cowboy boot presence.” Courtney said the store sells over 60 styles of boots and oers the largest selection of cowboy boots in New Braunfels. Men’s trendy and traditional styles of boots are available from the brands Ariat, Azulado and Horse Power, among others. There is a large style of boots for women to choose from, including from the brands Macie Bean, Liberty Black and Azulado. Courtney said once he learns the customer base, he plans to cater to other popular styles.
“We hope that we’re fullling kind of a niche in the market but also being really just a complement to the overall Gruene experience,” Courtney said. “When patrons go into Gruene, … they could have the opportunity to buy a cowboy hat or have the opportunity buy cowboy boots. … So, we just kind of want to be a part of that nostalgia, if you will.” Similar to the cowboy hats at the Gruene Hat Co., customers of the Gruene Boot Co. can choose to have their cowboy boots customized by branding their initials onto the footwear to create a one-of-a-kind item. 830-626-3334. www.facebook.com/gruenebootco
