True Western Living Since 1976
Founded in 1976, Rod’s is a family owned business dedicated to True Western Living. Based in Central Ohio and shipping around the globe, True Western isn’t just a brand – it’s a way of life. At Rod’s we value our principles of faith, family, hard work, truthfulness and freedom which guide us daily. Rod’s has been the western authority in the Midwest for 48 years.
The All American Quarter Horse Congress is one of the reasons Rod’s opened in Ohio. The business has successfully grown over the years through its physical locations, shows, catalogs, and online storefront. In the early 90's Rod's launched the mail order catalog and online operation Rods.com, offering our customers even more convenience they need at their fingertips. Customers enjoy easy ordering all around the world. Our eCommerce and store operations are better than ever and Rod's continues to be a major sponsor and retailer at the All American Quarter Horse Congress as well as several regional shows in the Midwest.
We invite you to visit our two Rod’s Columbus locations on Silver Drive and Polaris Fashion Place and we are always open at Rods.com. You can find everything western including Boots, Jeans, Hats, Apparel, Home, Tack and more. Come navigate the road of True Western Living, together with us!
