Called earlier in the morning to inquire about the purchase of a fishing license. I was told yes, but the gun counter did not open until 9 a.m. I showed up at 11:30, and was told that they hadn't been able to sell them for over a year. Something to do with their computer crashing? I always try to support Cal Ranch as a local business, but at $5.00 a gallon trump gas, this was a wasted trip. On the plus side, always very friendly staff. read more

Watch out for cal ranch they will rip you off. I bought a 50 dollar pair of carrhart pants at cal ranch took them home washed them and noticed the dye was bad on the front when I took them back to the store the "manager" who was not polite enough to introduce herself refused to exchange them because the labels were missing and she couldn't resell them. Thats probably how I ended up with defective pants resale fraud. I have reached out to cal ranch and carrhart and I have heard nothing. read more

Was visiting friends that live in Carson City and we did a stop to get dog food here. I had no idea what the store was about, but I absolutely love the idea that they have not only men's and women's apparel and accessories, but they also have livestock supplies and even little snacks to enjoy, lol! It's absolutely what I'd call a one stop shop but I did notice that a lot of their smaller sizes, at least within the women's items, were not in stock. Mind you I did go right after Christmas so possibly that's the reason but I did end up getting a phenomenal cow print faux fur jacket that stretches from shoulders to toes and my friend also got one too. It was listed at a fantastic sale price and there was no question once I found out it was discounted that we both HAD to have it-- and now that it's home with me, I absolutely don't regret it and cannot wait to wear it! While there, I was also looking at a really great distressed cowboy hat, but my friend decided she had to have it as well so as there was only one left, it was absolutely going to be for her!! :) read more

2nd amendment . C-A-L Ranch in Carson has made up its own policy to refuse ammo sales to anyone from California. I was invited to go out shooting with my friends and thought I'd be courteous and bring some ammo and I was refused.. when I pressed the issue. They said it's just the policy of their store.... not the law and not a policy of C-A-L Ranch , nor is it on their website... I drove down the street to get it ... not a big deal, but this is odd coming from a store that supposedly supports the second amendment.... read more

Service is horrible, I always seem to have to track down somebody for help and then unfortunately none of the staff have any idea about anything Ranch or farm related or any of their equipment or products or where they are even located within the store! I am so sorely disappointed I do not know why I keep coming back, but rest assured I will never ever come back to this place. It is a cesspool of Idiocracy. On top of that, everything is way overpriced with little to no value from Chinese distributors read more

We just completed our CCW classes at Cal Ranch Carson City. The class was exceptional and would recommend to anyone wanting thru NV CCW!

We wanted baby chicks and was immediately met by Sunny who helped pick them out. There was no medicated chick food on the shelf so a young man met us at the checkout and offered to help load everything! Great customer service! read more

Just finished my CCW training for the second time with Bill Bryant . What an amazing instructor. Extremely knowledgeable and up-to-date on the latest regulations. Makes the class fun and informative. Answered all my questions and helped with techniques to increase my proficiency. Knowing your legal rights when assuming the responsibility of firearm use is a key point of his program. Range safety and protocols need to be followed by all gun owners with no room for shortcuts and Bill is no nonsense when it comes to live rounds in his presence. If you want to learn from one of the best and have fun doing it, go to CAL Ranch and sign up with Bill. A+++ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ read more

Always solid experience at CAL Ranch. Second time pinching up chicks here and everything you need to raise em right, and boy do they have it all. We needed a waterer, starter feed and bedding to get them set up. We have a stock tank we use as a brooder and got the lightbulb elsewhere, so with that, we were ready to pick out our chicks. The store usually has 6-8 brooders in the store with a variety of breeds. I like the fact they have nice posters that give you some detail about them so you can make an informed decision. The female employee that helped us really took care of us. She really had her eye out for the healthiest and most age compatible birds, and when she saw we were looking for some additional variety, she took us in the back to see more than a dozen other breeds kept in the back! Early season usually means more variety, so your chances of this may lessen later on. We ended up with barred rock, Americauna, scarlet gem, light Brahma, and golden comet this time around and we're excited for them to grow. Chickens seriously are simple and fun. You should pick up some chicks yourself! read more

Took my concealed carry (CCW) renewal class with Bill Bryant and he is awesome! Very passionate about teaching gun safety and is very engaged. Highly recommend that anyone interested in getting their CCW for the first time or doing their renewal go take the class that Mr. Bryant gives. You will be glad you did read more

Skier snowboarder who camps in Carson RV while skiing/snowboarding Tahoe who has used Cal Ranch as a regular consistent Propane Fill Up stop however the initial attendant shared their Propane filling system was broken in November 2024 and not functional I arrived today January 6 2025 and was told someone left an integrated attachment was left by previous fill attendant I am seriously concerned Cal Ranch personnel or establishment does not care about supporting loyal customers who have been loyal customers and are not patronizing consistent loyal customers come Cal Ranch catch the clue bus and take care of you loyal consistent customers especially since you have a new installed propane filling station and system read more

We came in to spend $2,000+ on a new utility trailer and was told abruptly by a red-haired woman that we weren't even to be looking at them at this time because they're not for sale. This AFTER the first Gentleman sent us back there to look. Get it together people! Additionally, poor customer service! You should never speak to anyone like that!!!! read more

I went in to look at truck boxes. The product that I was interested in didn't have a SKU#. Employees were right on it. Ronnie scoured the internet to find the price of the box. It was taking some time. Meanwhile, my girlfriend calls me to pick her up from her appointment. I'm late now. Dang, should I stay? Sunny, the manager, happens to be one of the funniest peeps I'd met, so I thought this could be worth waiting for. Boy, was I right! Sunny and Ronnie couldn't get the exact price from the internet. Sunny immediately threw a price at me. I lowballed with a number. She threw another # at me and it was on. I felt like I was bidding on a bucking bull at a livestock event. I gave her my final #. SOLD!!!!! I got it!!!! At a killer price as well!! Love this place. Employees rock and Sunny is the best. Thanks! Jason read more

Sunny helped us buy baby chick's for the first time. Cheery and very helpful! Wonderful service!

My go to hardware store when I am in NV or UT. They have everything we needed and more! Well run and friendly.

The employees were so unhelpful and so hostile that I gave up trying to find the items I needed. (They must have been trained by Walmart!) I ended up at Tractor Supply, where the nice employee I spoke to not only helped me find everything I needed but also made suggestions that would make my project easier and better. So thanks! I'll be sticking with Tractor Supply from now on! read more

I rarely write bad reviews - but I am no longer going to this store. Too bad I really love the products. We have been purchasing our dog and cat food at Cal Ranch for years now. We have easily spent thousands. We were using the loyalty program where you get a free bag of food after purchasing 10 bags.  We have 31 proof of purchases for dog food. When we went in tonight to redeem our proof of purchase receipts the manager said they discontinued the program. This is terrible customer service.  Update: After I contacted the corporate office - they have made things right. I'm glad because I do like Cal Ranch. read more

I happened to drive through Carson today decided to swing in CAL Ranch since I haven't been there in years. I was looking at hats. There is no mirror close by I can find while trying on hats. I was also looking for yard decorations. There was no one around to help. Basically the customer service is pretty much nonexistent in this store. Well, at least they had someone standing at the cash register. I guess there's customer service at the cash register, but I I ended up not buying anything. The didn't have a bunch of other stuff that I didn't need though. I won't be going back to that store anytime soon. I'll buy elsewhere. They did have decent selection of boots but they didn't have my size. read more

If you live in Carson City and need to refill you BBQ propane tank, or need propane for anything else, this is the place to go! The price is way cheaper than the U-Haul store and it's convenient drive up too! No lugging your tank all around, just drive up to the propane filling station to the left in front of the store. There's a call button for an attendant to come out. He comes out and fills you right up! Load you car back up with the tank and go inside to pay. Easy, Easy! This is way cheaper than doing the tank exchange thing, like Blue Rhino! With those exchanges, many of the tanks are not even fill to full! OK, 80% capacity, as that's the max allowed to fill. Inside the staff is nice and they have all the stuff ranchers need, like fence posts and things to hook to the back of your tractor to grind up the ground. read more

Update: C-A-L Ranch Stores thank you. I did receive a call from the manager and he is going to make it right for me. Thank you. Bought 4 baby chicks. One is not doing very well and won't make it through the night. Had it less than 24 hours. They refused to do anything. No replacement, no refund. Sad they would want to loose a customer over $3.99. read more

Seriously my favorite store in town.

I stopped in last week...can we please get the blonde girl working the register a COVID test? She was coughing all over everything

I searched Reno, Sparks and some in Carson City looking for a particular firearm and it seemed everyone was out of stock.(no one could give me a time when they would be re-stocked). I called C-A-L ranch stores and was transferred to Firearms. I believed I talked to Jim and was very helpful in saying that had a few in stock. I drove from Sparks to Carson and had no problem finding the store. I was able to purchase one but have to go through the background check because they would not take my law enforcement ID. it should have only taken 20/30 minutes to clear me but I have to wait until they call me. All in all, I am very happy with my experience with C-A-L. read more

I read these reviews and see how customers want things there way, I'm so confused how people can treat others like dirt because they find an item buy a sticker for $2.99 then think it's right when it gets to register at different price and they get mean and yell at the person's working like it's there fault, will here is some advise read the stickers or if you decide you don't want the item don't throw it any where you feel like cause the next customer won't read the sticker just the price and it makes the cashier job tough cause they aim to please even though you can't please everyone they still try. And if you people have such problems go to work there let people treat you like dirt like you do to others not easy to please rude demanding people and hours be smart Google it read more

This is one great store! I'd never even heard of them before they decided to open up in Carson City. They moved into the old Safeway building. What a GREAT use for it! We attended the Grand Opening - and as expected, it was a zoo. But, I still managed to buy a pair of work boots (that I didn't know I needed until I saw them. You know how that goes). They've got lots of western wear and horse lover's stuff. Camping and fishing stuff. Hunting stuff (including a fairly good selection of all firearms). Hardware. Ranching and farm goodies (including live chicks of various types - none of which is familiar to me). Let me just say, they have a bit of 'everything'. It's one of those fun stores that you can just wander up and down the aisles - for hours - and keep finding nifty stuff. I WILL be spending time (and money) at THIS store... read more

I'm not a rancher, cowgirl or farmer type by any means. I don't have horses or livestock nor should I even be allowed to but I absolutely love this store. It's so much fun to browse and shop here. I love everything about it. They have some cool clothes, great belts and really cute unique purses. I bought a super cute blingy belt for my jeans here for $60 ( a splurge for me) and saw the exact same one after at a Brighton store at the mall for more than twice that amount. They have great unique yard decor, seeds, gardening supplies, hunting gear, awesome tire swings made to look like ponies for the kids, bunnies, kayaks, camping stuff, boots, sandals, pet supplies, and of course farm equipment and ranch stuff and everything in between. Plan to spend some time here. There's just so much cool stuff to look at around every corner. It's an adventure every time we stop in to visit. read more
