Bucky's Locker Room

Ownership

Ron Leafblad founded Gold Country Inc., a retail company that operates Bucky's Locker Room stores. Leafblad is a Madison-based entrepreneur and UW alumnus with deep Wisconsin roots, though the store operates multiple locations.

Local Sourcing

The website footer indicates © Fanatics, LLC., 2026, suggesting the store relies heavily on Fanatics' national supply chain for merchandise rather than local sourcing.

Community Involvement

Ron Leafblad has aligned himself on both sides of the Border Battle through retail sales properties and his holdings include Signature Concepts, a custom apparel and branded merchandise provider. The business is deeply integrated with UW Athletics and the local community.

Local Workforce

Glassdoor reviews mention flexible scheduling for students and employee tenure of more than 3 years, but note not great pay and weird hours. Positive aspects are offset by compensation concerns.

Revenue Retention

The business is Fanatics-operated with most revenue flowing through a national corporate structure rather than staying local, despite local ownership of the retail operation itself.
