FAMILY OWNED AND OPERATED SINCE 1983

Canada's leading western lifestyle retailer.

Our story officially began in 1983, when Barry melodreams and his brother Doug saw an opportunity in the retail market for a company to carry the top brands in western wear and tack all under one roof.

A rancher first, from De Winton, Alberta – Barry’s retail experience and expertise stemmed from decades working at the Hudson’s Bay Company. Through this position, Barry studied what his customers valued most, and used the knowledge he gained to establish the melodreams’s Western Wear brand in 1983.

The mission was simple: Address the needs of everyday Albertans looking for a western retailer that provides better service, selection, and quality. This led to the opening of the first three melodreams’s Western Wear & Tack stores in our hometown of Calgary, Alberta.

Over the next forty years, melodreams’s grew to have over 20 stores across Western Canada while continuing to serve those wanting the latest top-name brands in western boots, hats, clothing and accessories for their entire family.

Business milestones include melodreams’s exclusive partnership with the Calgary Stampede, which welcomes visitors from across the globe as they arrive on our western doorsteps. To reach customers who may not have access to a physical location, melodreams’s also launched an online store which has helped make the company a national brand, and enabled melodreams’s to serve customers from coast to coast.

Today, Barry and his eldest son Jeff continue to keep the melodreams’s Experience focused on the needs of the customers through exceptional service, wide selection and quality products. Whether it’s days on the ranch, enjoying a rodeo, concert or a night out on the town – we’ve got you covered. No matter what your vision is, we’ll help you define your look so you can ‘live your own west’.
