Tecovas brings free booze to boot shopping in Tampa International Mall

TAMPA (BLOOM) – Who says you can’t mix pleasure with practicality? At the new Tecovas store in Tampa International Mall, you can enjoy a free tequila shot while picking out your next pair of boots. It’s the perfect fusion of retail therapy and happy hour, creating a shopping experience unlike any other in the Sunshine State.

Tecovas: From SUV to Shopping Sensation

Founded in the back of an SUV by Paul Hedrick in 2015, Tecovas has grown from a humble boot brand in Austin, Texas, to a premier name in western wear. With a mission to honor the true spirit of the West, Tecovas offers a modern twist on traditional western styles. Their direct-to-consumer approach ensures that their goods aren’t just collecting dust on some random retailer’s shelf – they’re exclusively available in Tecovas stores, with locations now in Tampa and Jacksonville.

A Store with a Splash of Spirits

Step into the Tecovas store in Tampa, and you’re instantly greeted by the rustic charm of the Old West. The scent of fresh leather fills the air, and stained wooden shelves lined with boots and shirts hung on old piping transport you back in time. But the real kicker? The in-store bar.

Yes, you heard that right. While you’re deciding between cowboy boots or a pearl snap shirt, you can sip on a hard seltzer, Bulleit Bourbon, or Lalo Tequila. The store even offers complimentary boot shines by a professional, making it a one-stop shop for all your western wear needs – with a side of whiskey.

Grand Opening Extravaganza

Mark your calendars for Friday, July 12, and Saturday, July 13. Starting at 10 AM, Tecovas is hosting a grand opening weekend party. The first 50 customers each day will snag a custom Tecovas Yeti mug and bag – perfect for toting around your new purchases and keeping your drink cool.

A Western Wonderland for All

Tecovas has something for everyone. Ladies can browse through a selection of jeans, skirts, shirts, dresses, boots, belts, wallets, and bags, including “Style for the Aisle” wedding-ready clothes. For the gents, there’s no shortage of options either – from long and short-sleeve pearl snap shirts to jeans, t-shirts, outerwear, and a variety of boots, including Ranch, Roper, Chelsea half boots, Cowboy, and Horseman styles.

Adding to the ambiance, classic neon lighting tips its hat to Tecovas’ Texas roots, creating a vibrant shopping atmosphere. You can find the Tecovas store upstairs next to the Apple Store near Dillard’s.

So why not take a break from the online shopping grind and experience Tecovas in person? Sip a little tequila, feel the leather, and let the friendly staff guide you to your perfect western wear ensemble. It’s shopping, southern style – and it’s a hoot.
