Sitka Gear is opening two new stores in Minneapolis, MN, the fourth and fifth brick-and-mortar locations in the state for the maker of hunting gear.

Sitka’s newest store, a 2,629-square-foot space in Maple Grove, showcases a wide selection of the brand’s hunting apparel and exclusive locally designed merchandise. A grand opening will be held on October 26 with former Minnesota Vikings cornerback Trae Waynes.

Based in Bozeman, MT, Sitka recently opened a store on October 4 in The Mall of America in Bloomington, MN. The store’s footprint measures 1,580 square feet.

“As we expand our footprint in the Minneapolis community, we are excited to bring Sitka’s innovation and passion for the outdoors to local sportsmen,” said Sitka Gear Retail Marketing Manager Alley Ray “Our gear is engineered to perform in any environment, and these new locations will offer a unique, hands-on experience for customers to discover how our products can elevate their outdoor adventures.”

The Minneapolis stores join previously opened locations in Bozeman, MT; Dallas, TX; and Atlanta, GA.

President of Sitka Gear, Theresa Spangler, added, “Minnesota is home to so many people who are passionate about the outdoors and embrace the Sitka lifestyle. As a Minnesota native, it’s incredibly meaningful for me to return home and bring the Sitka Gear experience to the community that shaped my love for the outdoors. This grand opening is not only a chance to expand our retail presence, but also an opportunity to connect with local hunters and outdoorsmen in the Minneapolis area, sharing stories and experiences with a community that holds a special place in my heart.”
