Company history
As described on its website, the company’s origin dates back to 1989 when Tim and Mabel “Peg” Liebert “established their vision,” and “many considered Peg’s concept to be nothing more than wishful thinking on behalf of an ambitious woman seeking to compete with major stores in the local area.”
It started as “Mabel’s Kitchen,” catalogue with apparel, gifts, and other merchandise related to all-things Kansas. It was called Kansas Sampler. The catalogue eventually became five stores selling Kansas Jayhawks, Kansas State Wildcats, Kansas City Chiefs and Kansas City Royals gear. In the late 2000s, the Lieberts appointed their son, Aaron, as company CEO. After the “highs and lows” that Kansas Sampler endured in 2008, the Lieberts decided to expand outside Kansas and the firm evolved into Rally House.
With the Destiny USA store still to come, Rally House is currently operating in 13 states, per its website. They include Kansas, Missouri, Texas, Illinois, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky, Nebraska, New Jersey, Iowa, Indiana and Oklahoma, per the website.
