Lamar County Chamber of Commerce Celebrates Ribbon Cutting for Texas 2A Mantique

On October 31, the Lamar County Chamber of Commerce hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony for Texas 2A Mantique, now located at 6345 Lamar Rd., Reno, TX 75462. The store, which has been in operation for three years, recently moved to its new location.

Owners Jeff and Cathleen Padier chose the name “Mantique” as a clever twist on “boutique,” aiming to fill a niche in a community filled with traditional boutiques. Texas 2A Mantique is designed to be a gathering place for individuals who share a passion for Second Amendment rights, offering a range of Second Amendment apparel, guns, and gun accessories. Jeff expressed his gratitude for Philip Coker, who assists in the store during the workday, noting, “Philip was an answered prayer for our store.”

During the ceremony, Jeff Padier highlighted the significance of Second Amendment rights, stating, “Without our Second Amendment rights, there are no other rights.” The event marked a key milestone for the business and its dedication to fostering community connections centered around shared values.

Attendees included members of the Lamar County Chamber of Commerce, representatives from local businesses, Erik Simien, Director of Constituent Outreach for U.S. Representative Pat Fallon, as well as close friends and family of Jeff and Cathleen.
