Listen "SFH #015: Love of Adventuring in the Outdoors As a Business Model"
Episode Synopsis
Mountain Sports, a 1% for the Planet member, was founded on a love of adventuring in the outdoors in 1973 by brothers Mark and Bruce. They are the leading four-season supplier for all Patagonia outdoor clothing and Life is good apparel in northern Arizona. Their products range from sportswear to outerwear to fishing to clothing to fitness to name a few. They pride themselves on not only being an outdoor shop, but a gathering spot in the heart of downtown Flagstaff. They open their doors as a community space for locals and travelers alike. If you’re passing through town or live in the area, you’ll find events such as Geology Tours or Locals Night for discounts at select brands. As a member of 1% For The Planet, they grant one percent of sales to local environmental and conservation organizations. Thus far, they’ve granted more than $120,000 in the Flagstaff community.
