Atwoods is a large store selling farm equipment and animal feed for the cowboys and wannabe cowboys amongst us. You may have seen their ads on TV ‘Come into Atwoods, its just like comin’ home’ However, I think that they would be better off spending some money on updating their store rather than spending it on advertising! It is very old fashioned and not at all family friendly (horrible restrooms, and no baby change) and not very well laid out. It would be a so much nicer experience if there was a café or some place to buy a drink or snack for the kids too. But if you’re a regular customer that might not be a problem to you. It seems that Atwoods does have a following.

Atwoods has some clothing – Wranglers, boots, overalls etc. power tools and garden equipment and chemicals and lots and lots of animal feed. They sell stuff for your truck, fencing for your animals and blocks for your patio. There are even a few ride on toys for kids and of course hunting equipment. They also have seasonal items like Christmas decorations, patio furniture and grills, plants and seeds and live poultry for sale.

The prices are not particularly great at Atwoods but if you catch one of the weekly specials – found in a circular newspaper delivered to most homes in and around Tyler – then you will be able to stock up on food for your cattle, dog or birds, or perhaps fertilizer for your lawn, at low cost.

Atwoods to me is a bit of a rural Texas experience. I understand that there are another 30 stores around here and that they have been in business for 50 years. I guess things haven’t changed much!
