About Us
Our Story: A Laredo Tradition Since 1947
Who Are We?
For nearly 80 years, Casa Raul Western Wear has proudly served the communities of South Texas, Northern Mexico, and beyond. Founded in 1947 in Laredo, Texas, Casa Raul began as a small store specializing in military uniforms and supplies. Over the decades, we have grown into one of the region's premier destinations for Western wear, contemporary fashion, footwear, and accessories.
While our merchandise and selection have evolved with the times, our commitment to exceptional customer service, quality products, and outstanding value has remained unchanged.
Today, Casa Raul Western Wear continues to blend its rich Western heritage with today's leading fashion brands, offering something for every generation. From cowboy boots and hats to designer apparel, sunglasses, jewelry, and watches, we take pride in bringing our customers an exceptional shopping experience.
How Did We Get Our Name?
Our story began in 1947, when our founder, Mr. Raul Goldberg, moved from Mexico to the United States and established a business called Army & Navy Stores of Laredo.
Raul was a hardworking, personable family man who believed that treating customers with honesty, respect, and genuine care was the foundation of a successful business. He took pride in knowing his customers, understanding their needs, and offering quality merchandise backed by knowledgeable, friendly service.
His reputation quickly spread throughout Laredo, South Texas, and Northern Mexico. Customers began affectionately referring to his store as "Casa Raul," or "Raul's House," because shopping there felt more like visiting a friend than simply walking into a store.
The nickname became so popular that it eventually became the name we proudly carry today.
Three Generations. One Family. One Commitment.
Since opening our doors in 1947, three generations of the Goldberg family have proudly continued Raul's vision of providing exceptional customer service and quality merchandise.
Although Casa Raul has grown and changed over the years, we remain a family-owned and operated business with deep roots in the Laredo community.
We are proud of our history, grateful for the generations of loyal customers who have supported us, and excited about what the future holds.
At Casa Raul Western Wear, you're more than a customer. You're part of a tradition that has been growing since 1947.
Thank you for being part of our story.
