The right fit: Saba’s style isn’t just for locals

Written by

Saba’s Western Stores are well-known locally for their great selection of western clothing, hats, and boots. But did you know that they also provide outfitting services as a unique perk for conventions and other out-of-town groups?

Saba’s staff can set up a mini Western town at a resort, and guests enjoy a delicious dinner accompanied by Western music. As part of the fun, guests have the opportunity to shop at an on-site Western store to choose clothing items – hat, shirt, boots, whatever the sponsoring company requests. Guests receive their selected items as gifts, which they take home as souvenirs. These Western events are often offered as a thank you to a group, or as a corporate reward or team building event.

Saba’s recently hosted a custom outfitting event for a group from Canada. Because the Valley sees many convention groups from all over, it’s an excellent opportunity to expose guests to the Western lifestyle and give them a fun reward! Saba’s also outfits and sponsors major rodeo events, including Gilbert Days in November and the Parada del Sol Rodeo in Scottsdale in February.

Saba’s specialized fit and style experts will help size and outfit your group at whatever site you request. Saba’s can accommodate groups of 20 to 2,000 people, and they have worked with over 100 local resorts and meeting planners to create these custom events. If you’d like more information, contact the Event Outfitting Team, 480-969-7122.
Within its stores, Saba’s hosts a wide selection of Western clothing for men, women, and kids. Popular brands offered in Saba’s stores include Stetson, Tony Lama, Justin Boots, Rock and Roll Cowgirl, Panhandle Western Wear and Cinch Jeans. Ever-popular Wrangler items are also offered, along with popular Wrangler sub-labels like Miss Me, Aura, Wrangler 20X and more.
If you’ve got a hankering for some Western duds, visit a Saba’s store – you won’t be disappointed!
