As the holiday season approaches and the year comes to an end, we sat around the campfire with Kim Heidt, our Chief Retail Officer.  Here’s what Kim had to say about our growth this year: “Tecovas is thrilled to have 8 additional stores in new markets as we approach the holiday season. We know that customers are shopping differently - primarily due to the ease of online and mobile shopping - and we recognize that and want to be part of an innovative in-store shopping experience. Retail stores have become more about creating experiences and sharing meaningful in-person relationships with consumers. Our stores allow us to bring to life what we do best at Tecovas: provide hands-on experiences with our quality products, showcase radical hospitality, and demonstrate a celebration of Western values. We hope you visit a store near you and get to know some of our amazing team this holiday season! The Tecovas Retail Team can't wait to show you the true spirit of the West!” Check out our current openings at tecovas.com/careers if you’re interested in joining the Tecovas Team.  #hiring #retail #newstoreopenings #Tecovas #growth #business #retailstoremanager #storemanagement

When you walk into the Tecovas store in Denver, CO, you’ll meet Assistant Store Manager Guillermo Piñon, and if you’re lucky, you’ve seen his mastery of leather and product care. We sat down with Guillermo this month and asked him how working for Tecovas allows him to showcase his passion in a way that aligns with our Spirit of the West culture. 🤠 What is your favorite part of working for Tecovas?  The people. Our customer base is full of incredible folks who make every day something to look forward to. My colleagues create a great environment to be in and provide innumerable opportunities to better myself and others each time I walk through our doors. 🤠 How did you learn how to boot shine?  What’s your best tip for taking care of boots?  Growing up, I participated in raising a variety of livestock for show and market. After consistent wear in questionable conditions, I looked to YouTube and online forums to extend the life of my boots. I also played baseball and took an interest in leather care and re-lacing early on, which led to leather working and repairs at a deeper level. My best tip for caring for boots would be to invest in high-quality products specified for hide type, as certain tools work better for certain applications. Cream polishes provide incredible protection on top of the great shining properties, and a good neutral option allows for more versatility in any collection. 🤠 How do you share your knowledge of boot and leather care with customers? I always walk through the process with customers, explaining product information, methods, and substitutions. Many times, I write down specific details for customers so they have the proper resources to shine their boots on their own. 🤠 How do you approach our culture of radical hospitality in customer service? Every time a customer comes in, there is an opportunity to make a new friend. Personal connection is incredibly important these days, and most people don’t expect that additional effort in a retail setting. I am a people person in general and want nothing more than for our customers to leave our store feeling comfortable and confident in whatever item they decide on. The more I get to know about people, the more I can help them make the appropriate decisions for their boot needs/desires.  Guillermo is just one of our talented boot slingers whose passion is showcased in our stores.  If you are interested in seeing what opportunities are available near you, check out our current openings at tecovas.com/careers!
