Boot Barn coming to metro Detroit
One of the biggest western wear apparel stores in the U.S. is opening its sixth store in Michigan.
Boot Barn is a nationwide chain with fashion lines that serve everyone from American cowboys and oil and gas industry workers to fashion enthusiasts drawn to women's mainstream and western-inspired pieces, according to its website.
The store that sells boots, hats, chaps and everything in between is expected to come to Independence Marketplace, outside of Fairlane Green, in Allen Park.

Construction teams are currently working on an interior remodel, and the store's expected opening date is Aug. 5, construction project manager Kent Keller said.
The location, 23195 W. Outer Drive next to DSW, Subway and Miracle Ear, was formerly a Party City.
Signs outside the store with the Boot Barn logo say, "coming soon" and "now hiring." Boot Barn's career page lists job openings for Retail Inventory Control Specialists, Key Holders and Assistant Store Manager positions posted last week.
The store joins Michigan Boot Barns in Grandville, Lake Orion, Lansing, Novi, and Saginaw, according to the locations listed on its website.
