Services
The Emporium Western Store, a familiar local landmark at 1031 19th St. in Bakersfield, California, started over 110 years ago and has been serving valued customers ever since. The store was founded in 1909 as a true "emporium" or general store in the heart of downtown Bakersfield. In 1928, it was purchased by Isaac Rubin, grandfather of the current owners, and has remained in the family through three generations.
We have over 3000 pairs of boots in stock for men, women, and children. No matter what size, color or style you are looking for, you'll find your favorite pair of boots at the Emporium Western Store. We carry straw and felt cowboy hats and dress hats, as well as ball caps. We can custom shape your hat just for you.

Great boot and hat selections. There is also a famously skilled hat shaper located at this shop. Definitely worth checking out. No public restrooms and plenty of parking.

Went there to get my hat fixed after it was damaged at a different store. The lady there works wonders. She fixed my hat and did it pretty quick.

Ronda Lemons is the best hat shaper on the planet. You cannot do it yourself this well I promise you. The WHOLE staff are so fun and sweet and the selection is borderline hilarious. They have everything. Don't go to corpo b.s. sellout stores that rhyme with scoot farm. Don't do it. Don't be dumb. Go to emporium and give them all your money cause they deserve it.

Some staff was very helpful and accommodating, other staff members were not. They have a good selection of boots and western wear including hats and accessories for both men and women, they have a small section for children as well. Prices are average but it’s a local family owned business so I will be shopping here vs. online.
