Roots Outdoor is one of my favorite places to shop.  The have great gear for everyday outdoor wear as well as gear for more adventurous activities.  Nick and his team are the best help to find what you are looking for.  And chances are... if they don't have it, they can get it.  Every time I see they have something new, I end up calling or going by to buy something.

Roots Outdoor is more to me than just a retail store - it's a part of the community.  My community.
 - It's the people.  I've known the "Roots Family" for several years and my relationship with the extended family goes all the way back to my childhood.  That's the beauty of growing up and living in a small town.
 - It's the giving back.  Roots is always looking for ways to contribute and give back to the community and the city of Statesville.
 - It's the name.  Roots is more than just a name to me.  It's a reminder that MY roots are here, my family's roots are here in Iredell County and I'm proud of that.  I will always support this awesome small town business and I want it to thrive and be a fabric of this community.
 - And yes, it's also the retail store.  Roots carries the brands and the styles that I love and always look forward to going in and seeing what's new for each season.  I'd much rather support and shop local than a large chain retail store.
- That's what Roots means to me.

Roots CARES. They are rocking it as a business with the latest and greatest brands. I shop at Roots for gear and apparel and love the personal attention they provide... but they do so much more. They develop wonderful partnerships and their dedication to our schools, families and community is evident in all aspects of their service, a service that reaches far beyond their storefront.
