The Story of Pickup Outfitters

THE PICKUP OUTFITTERS STORY

Pickup Outfitters has always been a family-owned and operated business.

The story began in 1946 when Claude Perry founded The Perry Company in Waco, Texas, distributing — and later manufacturing — agricultural and pickup truck accessories. In 1995, the Perry family opened the first Pickup Outfitters retail location in Waco, eventually moving to Lake Air Drive, where the business served customers for nearly 27 years.

In 2006, the Weaver family expanded the company’s manufacturing operations and added UTV and ATV accessories. In 2016, Jay and Carol Ehret purchased Pickup Outfitters and continued strengthening the brand, ultimately relocating the business in 2023 to its current home at 4535 West Waco Drive.

Through every season, one thing has remained the same: local ownership, strong values, and a commitment to serving the hardworking people of Central Texas.

A New Chapter

Today, Pickup Outfitters is proudly owned by Jeramy and Melanie Sibley.

Melanie is a Waco native, and Jeramy has called the area home for nearly 19 years. Jeramy’s background in insurance and franchising has centered on helping small businesses grow and build strong foundations — experience we now bring to this next chapter.

Our faith in God is the foundation of our lives and leadership. As members of First Methodist Church Waco, we strive to lead with integrity, serve with purpose, and invest in our community.

We are honored to continue the legacy built by the families before us. Our commitment is simple:

  • Be strong partners to our customers
  • Deliver quality products and professional installation
  • Operate with honesty and integrity
  • Invest in our team and our community

Pickup Outfitters has always been about family and relationships. We’re proud to carry that tradition forward — and we look forward to serving Waco and the surrounding communities for years to come.

We are in the business of making customers happy. It’s that simple. We want every customer who does business with us to leave with a smile on their face and happy with the new look and function of their truck, SUV, or van. Sometimes we make mistakes, but when we do, we correct it in favor of the customer. Maybe it’s true that you can’t please everyone, but we’re going to try.

We will always treat you with respect, but….

We want to have FUN doing it. There’s a time to be serious, but making your truck look better and perform better should be enjoyable. So come on in with a smile on your face, and we’ll give you one back. Like us or leave us a review on Facebook or Google.
