Add a bit of country
Shopping is not my thing. Hunt it bag it, and on my way.
Occasionally a little serendipity creeps into my life. I have been looking to update my firearms for skeet, target and hunting for some time. Out of the blue appears a C_A_L Ranch Store. It's there in West Jordan UT (7800 S 2735 W). I must have passed it many times, unknowing.
Definitely country in the city, with an emphasis on farm. Hay bales and animal feed near the entrance provides the aroma necessary to take your senses to the appropriate place.
No one at the gun counter (so often I have been lost in heaving crowds struggling to "take a number") so my inquiries got first and quick attention. A very knowledgeable and courteous assistant (experience showed) made my shopping list disappear fast.
The store then became my wonderland. I now have a new shopping/wish list. I could not be enticed to change hat styles (still hanging on to my Aussie version). The boots were magnificent, but I have no place to put them. Black horned steer heads and real horse shoes could create ambiance in any den or "man cave".
I can envisage the Store being a tourist attraction. Foreign visitors could make their registers ring. If you are passing, do drop in for an experience.
