Atwoods Ranch and Home Corporate Office

Atwoods Ranch and Home was founded in Enid, Oklahoma, by Wilbur and Fern Atwood in the early part of 1960. The couple wanted to provide rural customers with quality tools and items for both the farm and home.

Today, Atwoods Ranch and Home have 58 locations in 5 states, including Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas and Kansas. The company remains family owned and operated. In addition to the 58 locations, the company operates three large warehouse distribution centers, two in Enid, Oklahoma, and the other in Tyler, Texas. One distribution center in Enid is a former Walmart location. While the company has considered moving into one larger warehouse, at the moment, plans are to remain in Enid.

The company is known for maintaining a local, low-key, down home type atmosphere, including free popcorn, despite expansion plans.

In April 2021, country music star Trisha Yearwood announced that she was starting a new line of pet products, which would be sold at Atwoods Ranch and Home.

Fingerhut Corporate Office

Fingerhut was founded in 1948 by brothers Manny and William Fingerhut. The brothers originally sold car seat covers, but soon expanded into catalog sales, which soon offered other items, such as tools, kitchen items, bedding, and towels.

The company has been sold several times over the years, including Federated Department Stores in 1999, Bain Capital Ventures in 2004, and currently to the Bluestem Group.

Fingerhut is an online retailer which offers a very wide variety of items, including iPads, curtains, Playstations, televisions, laptops, umbrellas, and more. The company differs from almost every other online company in that it has its own “Rent to Own” service, where customers can purchase items and make payments without using credit cards.

The company has come under fire recently for offering their merchandise at higher prices than most other stores, offering credit with an APR of 29.99%, as well as for annoying “robocalls.”

Orchard Supply Hardware Corporate Office

Orchard Supply Hardware, often referred to as OSH, is a chain of home improvement, gardening, and hardware stores in the US. Founded in 1931 as Orchard Supply Farmers Co-Op, the company originally was made up of a group of 30 fruit tree farmers who put up $30 to purchase much-needed supplies during the Great Depression.

Today, Orchard Supply Hardware is a subsidiary of Lowe’s, and has more than 91 locations in the US, along with approximately 5,400 full-time employees.

The company has launched a new program called OSHbots, which are robot employees. These moving robots have LCD screens, 3D cameras, and speak both English and Spanish. The OSHbots can identify items brought in by customers and take them to where replacement items are or customers can research more products or similar products directly on the robot itself. This is a pilot program originally introduced in Lowe’s stores in 2014.

Parent company Lowe’s closed out all Orchard Hardware Supply stores at the end of 2018.
