In 2019, we shone the spotlight on 12 standout specialty outdoor stores across the country in our #CoolShops column. From matching prices online to offering free drinking water to preserving their town’s history, these shops are seriously killing it at retail.

And through our inaugural #CoolShop Awards, we’re celebrating one standout shop in 2020. The winner gets $500 to throw a staff appreciation party, a custom banner created by artist Latasha Dunston, a slot on the Channel Mastery podcast, and the ultimate bragging rights. The deadline to vote is Feb. 5, 2020.
