History
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
Atwoods is run by Wilber and Ferns grandson Brian Atwood, and Brians 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.
