Episode #10: Creating a Magnetic Wholesale Line Customers Love, with Chad Riggins owner of Texas True Threads

Have you ever wondered how some wholesale brands seem to take off?  Is it the product? The terms? Or is it the team behind it all? Well, today we are answering your questions by saying, “All of the above” as we meet Chad Riggins, the owner of Texas True Threads, a lifestyle graphic tee brand based in Spearman, Texas.  Not only is Chad successful with Texas True, but with his embroidery company, The Sports Zone, and two retail boutiques. When you meet him, and their down to earth, genuine team, you’ll see how it has all come together so well.

Chad Riggins | Boutique Chat Podcast | The Boutique Hub ABOUT CHAD RIGGINS
After graduating college and starting his career in corporate America, Chad quickly learned that his entrepreneurial spirit was leading him down a different path. After testing the waters with a few unsuccessful business ventures and giving it a try, in 2003, Chad started a busy screen printing and embroidery business. After marrying his high school sweetheart, Mendy in 2005, the two began looking for new opportunities to grow the business, leading them back to Spearman, Texas. After years with The Sports Zone, in 2016 Texas True Threads was born and quickly grew into a leading southern boutique brand. After 17 years as a pediatric ER and ICU nurse, Mendy soon joined the team full time. Today, Chad and Mendy own two SportZone locations, Texas True Threads, Horse Creek Boutique, The Blessed Buffalo Boutique, and Rig Petroleum.
