Cavender鈥檚 Boot City to saddle up first Las Cruces store
The store is slated to open later this year
Published
Cavender鈥檚 Boot City is corralling New Mexico鈥檚 second biggest city into its Land of Enchantment portfolio.
The retailer, known for its wide selection of Western boots and apparel, announced earlier this month that it will open a new location in Las Cruces. The store is slated to open later this year, likely in the late third quarter or the fourth quarter, according to a Cavender鈥檚 spokesperson.
The store, planned for 2350 East Lohman Avenue just off Interstate 25, will fill 22,991 square feet of existing retail space formerly occupied by a Big Lots. The space is connected to a shopping center home to a Burlington, Hobby Lobby and Sprouts Farmers Market.
The Cavender鈥檚 spokesperson said a design is in the works for the space, which will be renovated in the coming months. Once open, the store will employ 20 people.
The location, New Mexico鈥檚 third Cavender鈥檚, will feature everything from Western hats, shirts, jeans, dresses, belts, work boots and accessories, as well as items from other well-known Western brands such as Ariat and Wrangler. The store will also offer custom services, like hat shaping and boot fitting and stretching.
The Las Cruces plans mark Cavender鈥檚 first New Mexico expansion outside of sa国际传媒官网网页入口, where the Western-wear brand has two locations. One opened at 1431-A Mercantile NE in 2014, and the other opened on sa国际传媒官网网页入口鈥檚 West Side in May 2025.
鈥淲ith the strong Western presence in the area, we wanted to give the Las Cruces community someplace to find their Western needs without having to drive to El Paso or sa国际传媒官网网页入口,鈥� the Cavender鈥檚 spokesperson said. 鈥淲e can鈥檛 wait for the community to see the new location when it opens.鈥�
