An outdoor retailer or outdoor store is a retail businesses selling apparel and general merchandise for outdoor activities.[1]

The stores may cater for a range of activities, including camping, hunting, fishing, hiking, trekking, mountaineering, skiing, snowboarding, cycling, mountain biking, kayaking, rafting and water sports. They may carry a range of associated equipment, such as hiking boots, climbing harnesses, snowboards, kayaks, mountain bikes, paddleboards, climbing shoes, and tents.[1]

History

In 2017, the US Outdoor Retailer trade show moved out of Utah over the state's plan to remove the national monument designations for Bears Ears and Grand Staircase–Escalante.[2]

During late 2020 and early 2021, some outdoor retailers experienced a boom from the COVID-19 pandemic, with demand increasing for items like personal watercraft, bicycles, running shoes, hiking shoes, and walking shoes.[3]

In 2022, research in the United States found consumers were planning to spend less at outdoor retailers due to rising costs of living and other prices.[4]

In March 2022, the US Outdoor Retailer trade show announced a move back to Utah beginning in January 2023, despite the state's stance on national monuments. Several major retailers, such as Patagonia, REI, The North Face, threatened to boycott the event.[5]
