Grassroots Outdoor Alliance … Independent Outdoor Retail Shops…

June 8-11th, 2009

Early Buying Show

Grassroots Outdoor Alliance is a group of independent outdoor shops dedicated to the sustainability of the specialty outdoor channel and the quality of the outdoor enthusiast’s experience. We stand together to help facilitate a market for performance-oriented, revolutionary products, create a unified marketing presence for high quality, local outdoor specialists, and help protect and sustain the quality and access to the environment on a local, national and global level. Our members sponsor a wide range of events from slide shows, free demos of equipment and boats, national-level races, and lectures. Each of our members is one hundred-percent committed to supporting environmental causes in their respective regions.

Expanding our goals …

The Early Show presents an opportunity for our vendor partners to introduce product and receive feedback from the country’s top independent retailers and affords the time for in-depth dialogue. In addition, we look forward to collaborating on new marketing efforts, local events and conservation initiatives. This is an invite only show exclusively for our members.
