Saturday a new store opened downtown at 118 E Wall Street. Cowboys Like Us is a western wear and equipment store that caters to the needs of cowboy/cowgirls. The store is owned by Chelse and Yance Day who are students at the Juco. Fiance Cassie Johnson and mother Sherry Day also help run the store.
Cowboys Like Us carries a large selection of new and used equipment and clothing and name brands like Chinch, Stetson, and Serratelli. They also have rodeo equipment like helmets, vests, ropes, goat strings and tack supplies.
The goal for the store is to give people a way to shop local without needing to go to Kansas City or Pittsburg. In addition to the new goods, the store also takes used items on consignment. Cassie Johnson said, “It’s good to have consignment items for college kids” because it helps keep the cost down and provides an outlet to sell equipment that is no longer needed.
They are working on setting up a Cowboy Wall Of Fame to help highlight local rodeo heroes.
Cowboys Like Us is open Monday through Saturday from 10am to 6pm. Be sure to stop in and show your support for Fort Scott’s newest local business.
I am thinking there was a “need” here and they have filled it which is how you end up with a winner! Hoping that this business experienced great success!

I have added your new store to the Visitors Guide that I produce for guests here at our Bed & Breakfast Hotel & Spa, Restaurant and Lounge. It is just such unique shops such as yours that are attractive to our guests while being a great service to Fort Scott residents. We appreciate your being here – it enriches Downtown.
I also share Lyons Twin Mansions Visitors Guide with other lodging locations and encourage them to give to their guests. At the Twin Mansions, we print only a few at a time so I can keep current and have you immediately on the list of unique shops! Every guest receives our Visitors Guide titled Eat Sleep Stay & Play in historic Fort Scott along with a FS map.
Thanks Miss Pat for all you are doing for us . Our store is proud to be apart of the downtown area . Everyone including other merchants have been extremely kind. We look forward to meeting the cowboy needs of Fort Scott.
