Jax to open first Wyoming store

FORT COLLINS — Fort Collins-based Jax Inc. plans to open its first store in Wyoming in a closed Sears store in Cheyenne. The store is in Frontier Mall.

The mayor of Cheyenne, Marian Orr, announced the news in her weekend Twitter feed, according to the Wyoming Business Report

Jax operates seven stores — two each in Fort Collins and Lafayette, and one each in Loveland, Broomfield and Ames, Iowa. Jax operates either Jax Outdoor Gear or Jax Farm & Ranch stores, or sometimes a combination.

Jim Quinlan is the founder and operator of the chain of stores. The Ames location is where he got his retailing start when he worked at his parents’ military surplus store.

Jax did not return a request for comment as of noon Tuesday.
