Two local specialty outdoor retailers in Boulder, CO have announced plans in the last week to close their stores, according to the Boulder Daily Camera newspaper.


Outdoor Source told the newspaper it plans to close its store at Broadway and Pearl St. by the end of June. The retailer had moved to the location only last year from another location in Boulder.

Last week, Little Mountain Outfitters, which has specialized in selling outdoor clothing for kids for 15 years, said it would close Memorial Day.
The newspaper reported that both retailers attributed their decision to close to consumers changing spending habits in the wake of the recession.
