(Decatur, Texas) - NRS (National Roper’s Supply), a family-owned company, based in Decatur, Texas, has acquired Rod’s Western Palace, based in Columbus, Ohio. NRS is a multi-channel retailer of products for the western lifestyle including saddles, tack, ropes, animal health supplies, boots, hats and western apparel.

Specifically, NRS will continue to support customers at the All-American Quarter Horse Congress in Columbus in October as both a sponsor and a retail resource.

“We are so happy that NRS will be taking the reins of our stores and ecommerce business in the Midwest. NRS has a long-standing tradition of high quality, integrity and customer focus that blends very well with our 49-year history and culture. There is no doubt they will continue and improve upon the deep-rooted family values that David and Cade Isham have built over that same time period at NRS.” – Scott Hartle, Owner of Rod’s.

It has been an honor for my family to get to know Scott Hartle and his family. We definitely share the same values.” – David Isham, Founder & Owner of NRS.

This acquisition represents a continuation of two family legacies. Anne Marie Cantrell, daughter of Scott Hartle, will transition to work for NRS and head up operations in Columbus.
