Sierra Trading Post, best known as the online discount seller of outdoor gear, has expanded its assortments to include sports and recreational gear for tennis, golf, baseball, softball and racquetball.

“Sierra Trading Post is expanding into the sporting goods market because, just like with our extensive offering of camping, hiking and outdoor gear, we pay close attention to how we can bring value to our customers and help them save money on the activities they enjoy the most,” says Bryan Vernetson, merchandiser/buyer for Sierra Trading Post. “It’s pretty exciting to add so many respected brands all at once. Best of all, we have plans to continue growing this category throughout 2011 and beyond.”

To celebrate expanding into the sports and recreation category, Sierra Trading Post is serving up a tennis equipment giveaway. Five random winners will receive the following package: two tennis racquets, a tennis bag and a $100 Sierra Trading Post gift card.

 

Sierra Trading Post said it purchases brand name overstocks, closeouts and seconds and offers customers 35-70 percent savings every day. Founded in 1986, Sierra Trading Post is celebrating its 25th anniversary. Sierra Trading Post also operates four outlet stores in Boise, Idaho; Reno, Nev.; Cheyenne and Cody, Wyo.; with customer service call centers in Cheyenne and Cody.
