PRESS ROOM
Hello and Welcome from the Grassroots Press Room
If you are a member of the media, or a retailer/vendor interested in joining Grassroots Outdoor Alliance, this is your information center. Our goal is to provide the most up-to-date information regarding our 34 retail members and with everything we are doing on their behalf. We are based in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Asheville, NC, where we test the gear we advocate and enjoy our great Southeast History.
Here you will find a listing of the latest store information, press releases and more. If we can help you with a story, gear review, image request or if you need a press kit, we’d love to assist.
