Start of an adventure

My son and I had this crazy idea - Why not start an outdoor gear company to serve the outdoor enthusiasts in the Greater Miami Valley area of Ohio? (I always have these crazy ideas at the strangest times - luckily my family expects it from me).

Many people in the Dayton area are driving to Cincinnati to get their gear. The more we talked about it, the more excited we got. So over the next few months I did some research. The more people I spoke with, the more I thought that this just might work. Little did we know that our idea has blossomed into a reality so quickly. We researched possible locations, what we wanted to stock, size of store, etc.

We found a historic building located in downtown Miamisburg, Ohio. It met most of our criteria - close to the Great Miami River and the recreational trail, as well as a MetroPark with a 22-mile backpacking loop under construction.

The downside was that the building was in total disrepair. Fortunately a group of local investors had plans to renovate the building and bring it back to life. Little did we know that our timing was impeccable. The renovation of the building is progressing, and we've been able to give our input. The plaster is being removed from the interior walls, exposing the original 1860's brickwork. Really cool... the store space will have so much character. We can't wait until we open!
