The Thunder Rolls
Hey y'all! Allow me to introduce myself... I'm Kris Allred, VP of Marketing and E-Commerce of Jack's Western Wear. I handle all of our social media accounts and content, and I run our website.
Basically... I am the one posting the product... taking your order... and shipping it out! If you have a question or issue, I will be the one to help you... and it's my goal to always make you feel like family.
As the owner's daughter, I was literally born into this business. But I've only been "selling boots" since the summer of 2023.
I was a TV meteorologist for 23 years, covering the Midwest and the East Coast. For 17 of those years, I was the chief meteorologist of WSAV News 3 of Savannah, GA/Hilton Head Island, SC.
While I've always had a passion for weather, it was time to come home and join my family in Alabama. And let me tell you... I am so excited to be home!
I was born and raised in Cullman, Alabama. After graduating from Cullman High School, I attended The University of Alabama where I was a crimsonette with the Million Dollar Band. I then earned my master's degree in meteorology from Mississippi State University.
In the TV business, I moved from Nebraska to Michigan and eventually to Georgia.
Now that I'm back home, I can't wait to share our family business with you. Not just the products... but our story and our work fun.
I'm bringing my love of TV to Jack's Western Wear. We've made some entertaining videos that have already racked up millions of views! So be sure to check out our social media pages where you'll be entertained and informed.
Western wear ~ or cowboy fashion ~ has been an important part of western culture since the 1800s. Considered the 'golden age' for cowboys, the Wild West is hailed as the beginning of western fashion - an era defined by cowboys, ranchers and outlaws.
The evolution of American Western attire is deeply intertwined with cultural heritage and progress. Cowboy hats, boots and denim have not only shaped American society but have also become integral elements of popular fashion across various domains.
In our blog ~ They Blog With Their Boots On ~ we will uncover the timeless appeal and significance of classic western wear... we will introduce you to the latest western trends... and we will simply try to entertain you.
As I step into a new career... but an old family business... I too am learning every day. Whether it's to share a laugh or help you pick out the most amazing pair of boots, we are here to make your shopping experience a good one!
Also, please feel free to share ideas... tell us what you want us to cover... or what videos we should produce next. We would love to hear from you!
