J&H Lanmark, a locally-owned specialty outdoor store serving Central Kentucky, has been admitted as the latest retail member of Grassroots Outdoor Alliance.
Founded in 1972 as an army surplus store, the store is named for the two men who founded J&H, Danny Johnson and John Hall. The original store was located on North Broadway in downtown Lexington, KY. As J&H’s loyal customer base grew and evolved, J&H began offering outdoor apparel, equipment and supplies. And even though we’ve changed a lot, J&H still offers the one thing that all customers appreciate, the best customer service in the business.
George Lathram, owner of J&H Lanmark, began working there when he was 16 and stayed until he graduated from college. He purchased the business in 2006. Licensed to sell property, casualty, life and health insurances, as well as investment securities, Lathram received the “Young Entrepreneur Award” for 2012 from the Lexington Chamber of Commerce.
“We are honored to be accepted into the Grassroots family of companies,” Lathram said. “We are looking forward to utilizing the many resources that Grassroots has to offer.”
Given the timing, J&H Lanmark will be unable to attend the Grassroots Early Summit being held from June 9 12, 2014 in Loveland, CO.
Grassroots Outdoor Alliance unites 49 independent outdoor retailers with over 100 doors in 28 states, as a strong voice to protect and promote the experience of outdoor enthusiasts across the United States.
