Lebo’s

Lebo’s is a family-owned retailer with deep roots in the Carolinas, specializing in western wear, work boots, dance apparel, and accessories. The company was founded in 1923 by Meyer Lebo, who opened a shoe repair shop in Charlotte, North Carolina. Over the years, Lebo’s steadily broadened its product selection and transitioned from a single shop into a multi-store regional chain.

A notable milestone in Lebo’s history is its evolution from a local footwear provider to a trusted destination for both urban and rural customers seeking western boots, durable workwear, and dance supplies. This shift helped the brand build a reputation for personalized service and a diverse product mix that appeals to families, workers, and performers.

As of November 2025, Lebo’s operates six stores across Charlotte, Concord, Gastonia, Monroe, and Salisbury in North Carolina, as well as Rock Hill in South Carolina. The company has maintained a consistent store footprint in these communities, focusing on optimizing its existing locations and expanding its e-commerce business to serve a wider audience. Lebo’s remains independently owned and continues to be led by the founding family, with no evidence of acquisitions or closures in recent years.

During the past five years, Lebo’s has concentrated on strengthening its regional presence and adapting to changing retail trends by investing in online sales. Its stores are found in both strip centers and standalone formats, reflecting flexibility in location strategy. The brand’s longevity, stable operations, and commitment to community engagement have established Lebo’s as a credible and reliable tenant for landlords, brokers, and developers seeking experienced specialty retailers with a proven track record.
