Ahnu Shoes, the San Francisco-based company rooted in outdoor performance and influenced by an urban lifestyle, has joined Grassroots Outdoor Alliance (Grassroots) as a vendor partner.
One of the basic foundations of Grassroots is a desire to be part of your local community and give back either through environmental or social programs. A big part of starting Ahnu was to create a business model that allowed the company to act as responsible citizens and to give back by partnering with like-minded organizations. They believe that by working together they can achieve great things that truly make a difference in people's lives. Ahnu has contributed more than $250,000 to charitable organizations since their founding in 2007.
With this type of business attitude, Ahnu is a perfect fit for Grassroots.
“Ahnu is a wonderful footwear brand and partner for Champaign Surplus. Our customers love the quality, comfort and style of their products – and we have been very impressed with the collaborative and energetic support they have provided our store and the outdoor specialty channel,” said Shira Epstein, co-owner of Champaign Surplus and a retail member of Grassroots. “We're thrilled that Ahnu will be joining Grassroots Outdoor Alliance as a vendor partner. “
Ahnu will be exhibiting at the Fall Grassroots Summit in Knoxville, TN from Nov. 18-21, 2013.
Grassroots' 45 member retailers operate nearly 100 retail stores across the United States
