About Kistler Tent & Awning
In 1917 George Kistler started Kistler Tent
& Awning in the basement of his home. George
started out by making awnings, and then
began to expand his business by doing
repairs and custom making most anything from
canvas and fabric. Awnings, sheep wagon
covers, automobile tops, and tents of all
sizes were some of his specialties. In 1920
Ed Kistler joined George and they moved into
their first building located at Midwest &
Elm. Two years later the moved into the
Chandler Building at the corner of 2nd
& Park. Fred Kistler joined the company in
1926 and they moved the business to the
Schulte Building on Center Street next to
the Wonder Bar. In 1930 they moved yet
again across the street to 245 S. Center
into what is now known as the Kistler
Building because of the Kistler mural on the
side of it. This move also brought an
addition of a sporting goods line. In 1945
George passed away and Fred became a
partner. Ed & Fred sold the sporting goods
department in 1956 and moved into a larger
building at 424 S. Oak Street where the
business is still located today. The
business has changed hands from the
Kistler's to the Perry family in 1969 and
now Kyle and Kerry Gray are the proud
owners. The Grays, who are natives of
Casper, purchased the business in 1997 and
are carrying on the same quality that
Kistler Tent & Awning has held since 1917.
They are proud to be serving Casper and the
state of Wyoming.
This is Kistler Tent & Awning when it was
located at 2nd & Park in the
Chandler Building.
This is Kistler’s first rental tent offered
in the 70’s.
