History

[edit]

The Atwoods Ranch and Home Goods story started over 60 years ago with founders Fern and Wilbur Atwood. They had a simple American dream and were willing to see it through. It began with a trip from Minnesota nearly 1,000 miles south to start a new business based on sincere practices with a neighborly smile.

They landed in Enid, Okla., and opened their first store in 1960.

Current Day

[edit]

Atwoods is operated by Wilbur and Fern's grandson Brian Atwood, and Brian's son Preston Atwood. Enid, Oklahoma is home to the Corporate offices and northern distribution center, as well as a southern distribution center in Tyler, Texas.
