Roots Outdoor is a veteran/family owned business that is here to share our love for the outdoors with our community, family and friends. Roots has been a dream since the founder Nick fell in love with snowboarding in the mid 90's.  After spending 8 years in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest, that love and passion for the outdoors grew stronger. In 2020, during the midst of Covid Nick and Amy partnered with Adam and Kaley. They moved their family across the country to become not only business partners, but also family here at Roots. They brought with them over a decade of passion, experience, and knowledge in the outdoor industry. As our Roots Family grows the mission has always stayed the same. Roots Outdoors goal and our collective passion is to give the people of our community and around the country a place to get quality clothing and gear while maintaining the small town mom and pop feel. We are here for the community first.  Our brands are a reflection of the wants and needs of our customers and we aim to tailor our inventory every year to better satisfy their needs and to make sure they aren't stuck outside with ineffective or frustrating equipment. (Trust us we have been there).  From the beginning, Roots has stocked the shelves in Statesville, NC with quality, well made products from brands that have a history of going above and beyond to satisfy the end consumer.   Brands like Patagonia, Burton, North Face, On Running, 686, Volcom, Topo Designs, Howler Brothers, Kuhl, and Smith Optics just to name a few.   But what good are brands like these if you don't put them to the test. Being only and hour from the NC mountains and minutes from Lake Norman, we also wanted to provide services that allowed locals to explore snowy mountains, fresh water lakes, and rugged trails with a little more convenience.  Roots provides equipment rentals for those that are just wanting to dip their toe in the water or boots in the snow to see if they like it.  Ski and snowboard rentals are available during the winter months and Stand up paddle boards are available in the summer.  Come visit us at Roots Outdoor NC in historic downtown Statesville!
