Originally an exclusively online company, Everest Gear has expanded its retail operations beyond Everestgear.com by opening three specialized stores in Ohio. Campers, backpackers, mountain climbers, and other lovers of the outdoors regularly fly in from across the globe to take advantage of the wide array of top-quality outdoor apparel and equipment offered by the knowledgeable staff of Everest Gear’s three stores in Granville, Upper Arlington, and Columbus.
EverestGear.com and Everest Gear’s three brick-and-mortar storefronts stock only the highest-quality products from the most respected manufacturers of outdoor gear and apparel, such as Patagonia and Mountain Hardwear, among many others. The company’s first and flagship store in Granville functions as the warehouse and central shipping facility for orders placed on EverestGear.com. As such, the Granville location offers an eclectic variety of camping equipment and outdoor apparel. The Upper Arlington store places its emphasis on lifestyle products and apparel. The Columbus store focuses exclusively on outdoor equipment, and its employees are extremely knowledgeable in assisting customers with selection of practical, reliable gear that is tailored to their specific needs. Everest Gear’s Columbus store is also one of only three Osprey Pro Shops nationwide. The store carries the entire line of Osprey bags, and Everest Gear staff members are trained in properly fitting customers with Osprey’s products.
Environmentally responsible business practices are central to Everest Gear’s philosophy. This is reflected in the company’s recycling and waste-reduction practices. Ninety percent of the containers used to ship orders placed on EverestGear.com have been recycled and reused and Everest Gear makes a point of never throwing away materials unnecessarily. Additionally, EverestGear.com issues all customer receipts electronically, resulting in a significant reduction in paper waste. Each Everest Gear store is also an authorized collection point for recycled Patagonia products.
