The Kind Of Service You Come In For
The Lake's End isn't a big-box counter or a call center. It's a local store where some of our staff have been fitting Red Wing boots for decades, and that experience shows the moment you walk in. We know the gear because we've spent careers with it, and we take the time to get you into what actually fits the work. Whether you're outfitting yourself or a whole crew, you're dealing with people who care how it turns out.
Real Work. Real People.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers about our services, delivery, and how we work with your business.
That's what our staff is here for. Come in or call, tell us the trade and the conditions, and we'll point you to gear that actually holds up, no pressure, no upselling.
We do, along with Irish Setter, Ariat, Timberland PRO, Thorogood, and Muck. Come in and our staff will fit you in person so you leave in the right pair, not a return.
Yes, and then some. We're Central Ohio's second-largest Carhartt retailer, and the only retailer in the state direct with Carhartt Company Gear, so custom Carhartt programs don't route through a wholesaler. Come talk to our team about outfitting yourself or your crew.
We stock the names the trades trust, Carhartt, Red Wing, Ariat, Timberland PRO, Thorogood, Irish Setter, and Muck for boots and workwear, plus FR and hi-vis from Portwest, Kishigo, and more. As Central Ohio's second-largest Carhartt retailer, we carry real depth, and if we don't have it on the floor, we can order it. Come in and see what we've got.
Walk right in. Our floor is open during store hours and our staff can help you find and fit gear on the spot. For large uniform or boot programs, a call ahead lets us have the right options ready.
Always. Come into our Thornville store and our staff will fit you in person, so you leave in the right size and the right gear the first time, no guessing and no returns.
Yes. We stock NFPA-compliant flame-resistant apparel and ANSI-rated high-visibility gear for utility, electrical, and industrial work, and we can brand it in-house without compromising the safety rating.
We're open Monday through Friday 9 AM to 5:30 PM, Saturday 10 AM to 3 PM, and closed Sunday. Walk in anytime during store hours, no appointment needed.
Our store is in Thornville, Ohio, just off Buckeye Lake and a straight shot east of Columbus. It's an easy drive from the metro, and worth the trip to shop the floor and get fitted in person.
Recurring and volume orders can qualify for preferred pricing. Tell us your expected quantities and cadence and we'll build that into your quote.
Whatever's easier for you. Browse our catalogs online and bring your picks in, or come to the store and we'll walk you through options and place the order together. Either way, a real person handles it.
Once we've set up an order for you or your crew, we keep the details on file, styles, sizes, logo placement, so reordering is quick. Call or stop in and we'll match what you had.
