Our Story
Ross Seed Company was established in Chickasha, Oklahoma, in 1918 by Henry Ross. In 1949, the company expanded into El Reno. The two stores were operated by brothers Joe and Walter Ross. In the 1990s, Joe retired, and Walter took over the operation of both locations with his son, Tom Ross, and daughter, Julie Ross-Martin. Today we are pleased to have the fourth generation actively working in the business. Tom’s son, Mason, and Julie’s son and daughter, Matt and Lauren, are engaged in all aspects of the business.
Ross Seed joined the True Value buying coop in the mid-’70s. This enabled us to offer hardware, plumbing, electrical, lawn and garden and paint at a competitive price. We’ve since added a gift department with a bridal registry. Today, Ross Seed/True Value is a mercantile located in the heart of downtown Chickasha and El Reno. We have experts in every department to help our customers find the best solution to their problems and projects.
