About Us

Travas Uthe was just 15 years old when he started working in the footwear industry on Kemp Avenue in uptown Watertown, South Dakota. He gained valuable lessons in customer service and got an education in footwear, and he knew someday he would take off on his own.

With more than 15 years experience in footwear and the hard work and honesty is takes to achieve the American dream, Travas founded Trav’s Outfitter in December, 2003. The humble beginnings of Trav’s included warehousing and selling out of his home garage. It wasn’t easy, but Travas knew if kept his focus and his values, he could make it work.

In May 2004, the Trav’s Outfitter location on north highway 20 in Watertown was opened. Travas shared the space with a pizza and sub shop to help pay the rent and blocked part of the store off with cattle panels so it wouldn’t look too empty. This experience taught him selling shoes and pizza in the same building may not be the best idea.

Travas knew the value of hard work and understood the worth of every single customer. He passed this strong passion for customer service along to his staff back then, and still does today.

Firmly established as the #1 source in the area for work and western shoes and clothing, Trav’s Outfitter outgrew their location and built a 28,000 square foot store on west highway 212 in Watertown, SD, in 2018.
