Keddie's

What Keddie's does

Keddie's Tack and Western Wear is an independently owned, brick-and-mortar farm and ranch retail and equipment rental business founded in 1964 and headquartered in Grande Prairie, Alberta, Canada. It operates from a single 25,000+ sq ft store at 9808 132 Avenue, complemented by a shop.keddies.com e-commerce storefront that extends the assortment beyond the local catchment. The company's core retail offering spans western and work boots, workwear and industrial apparel, western fashion and accessories, tack and saddlery, feed, on-site manufactured salts and minerals, metal roofing and siding, fencing supplies, books and videos, and gift cards, supported by a portfolio of more than 20 brand partnerships including Wrangler, Carhartt, Ariat, Blundstone, Roper, Helly Hansen, Hooey, Woolpower, Bailey, and Resistol.

Beyond retail, Keddie's runs an equipment rental division as a Flaman Group dealer, covering trailers (stock, car hauler, bumper pull, dump, gooseneck, enclosed), agricultural equipment (discs, rollers, seeders, tractors, skid steers, post pounders, rock pickers, mowers, harrows), and construction equipment (mini excavators, Ditch Witch machines, skid steers, trenchers, attachments). Pricing for rentals is quote-based and coordinated by phone rather than publicly disclosed. The company generates revenue through one-time retail product sales and rental transactions, serving farm and ranch operators, acreage owners, rural lifestyle consumers, and construction contractors in the Peace Country region.

Keddie's also offers a Premises Identification Program (PID) service that helps customers secure Premises Identification Numbers required to purchase animal health and veterinary products with DIN or lot numbers, functioning as a regulatory intermediary that deepens the customer relationship. The company maintains a Community Giving Program supporting agriculture-related events, rural western lifestyle events, nonprofit charities, and Peace Country organizations. Marketing is conducted primarily through a Facebook page, an email newsletter, and the company's content website, with no disclosed app, API, or proprietary technology platform. No external investors, parent company, funding rounds, or acquisition activity are documented in the source material.
