About Us |
Richard H. Vance
started Vance’s in 1938 as a general store. He
passed his love of hunting and shooting on to his
son Richard M. Vance. Together they changed their
grocery store that was selling firearms, archery,
and police equipment as a sideline business to a
full-time Sporting Goods store in January of 1978
Rich’s wife Lana and sons Todd and Doug have worked
in the family business for many years and have
played a major role in the steady growth. Todd runs
our retail operations and Doug spearheads our Law
Enforcement Division.
In
2002 Vance’s merged their business with Buckeye
Outdoors. We are proud that we have evolved into
four large and very successful operations: Vance’s
Shooters Supplies, Vance’s Law Enforcement, Buckeye
Outdoors, and Buckeye Outdoors Marine. Our four DBA
divisions are part of Vance Outdoors Inc., our new
Ohio incorporated company name.
Richard H. Vance loved his customers and loved to
converse with them. He taught his family that our
customers were our real Bosses. We were schooled in
the many ways to make and keep our customers happy.
Our mission has always been and will always be to
make sure that our customers have a great shopping
experience at Vance’s.
We are
fortunate to have a wonderful group of longtime
employees. Some of them have been with Vance’s for
more than 30 years. Our entire staff would like to
thank all of our many customers in
Columbus
and around
Ohio
for shopping at Vance’s and making this our 68th
year at the same location.
Buckeye Outdoors
was founded in February 1997 by Maurice & Sharon
Potvin, with one goal in mind.
To offer their customers the lowest price along with
great customer service. With this being the goal
still today and the merge of Vance’s Shooters
Supplies and Buckeye in 2002 has helped to continue
its growth into one of the largest outdoors retail
stores in the country. Please come and visit us and
experience the great outdoors at Buckeye Outdoors.
