The company has been a specialized retailer of outdoor and outdoor sports equipment for decades.

With a strong reputation and a clear focus on quality and sustainability, it serves a broad customer base: from recreational hikers and travelers to experienced outdoor enthusiasts and professionals who rely on robust, functional, and high-quality products.

Company activities

Through a physical store in a prominent inner-city location and a webshop, the Enterprise combines personal service and advice with the convenience and reach of online sales.

The assortment consists of a carefully curated selection of premium brands, including Arc'teryx, Patagonia, and The North Face, supplemented by a wide range in other categories including tents, shoes, technical clothing, backpacks, and other accessories.

Unique selling points

The company has a strong reputation in outdoor retail. A (strategic) buyer can expand the company's geographical reach and accelerate its (online) growth trajectory.

The focus on service, expert advice, and a specialized assortment of high-quality, recognizable brands contributes to above-average customer loyalty.

The company possesses a strong omnichannel platform with scalable cross-channel and marketing capabilities.

The company operates in an attractive niche with growing demand for premium outdoor products.

The company is led by a manager with years of experience within the enterprise. Following an acquisition, the manager is keen to remain active within the company. This offers a buyer the opportunity to acquire a 'going concern'.

Other

The current shareholders acquired the shares driven by their passion for the brand, the store, and the sector. In their current form, the shareholders are barely involved in the day-to-day operations of the company.

Since then, they have successfully developed the company and positioned it to its current level.

A new owner can realize the next growth phase by further professionalizing the company and accelerating growth, including through the expansion of the product range, activities, and stores.
