“It is an incredible thing to be a part of,” Aaron Johnson, VP of Marketing Strategy, said. “Since our first store in 1989, we’ve stayed true to our mission of providing locally inspired merchandise and gifts. No two stores are alike, which creates a catered shopping experience and product selection that is specific to each community we are in. And the amazing thing is, we are just getting started!”

There are currently Rally House locations in 19 states, with more on the way. The company said it has plans to open stores in Denver, Houston, Milwaukee, and Minneapolis, and other markets, later this year.
