Columbia Sportswear national retail manager, Steven Gahdmar said, “We love opening new stores as it brings together fellow enthusiasts. You’ll meet like-minded people, share stories, and perhaps discover hidden trails or secret fishing spots. It’s not just shopping; it’s connecting with a community that shares your passion and for me this is the reward.
