Trail Butter
From the Trail Butter Team: “We want to apply to Trail Butter the same philosophy that guides us in life. The product itself was inspired by one of the activities we love, cycling, something that keeps the sanity in a sometimes hectic lifestyle. Just as the goodness of Trail Butter depends on the healthiness and balance of its ingredients, life also is at its best when there is a balance between work and play. Furthermore, these 2 sides of living are the most fun when the places where we do these things, the office and out of doors, are healthy and respected. So with care towards the workplace and the environment, and a love of the West, we hope to create a product that not only is delicious but improves quality of life inside and out in the community and natural world through healthy, holistic nutrition and business practices.”
Altra Running
Altra shoes weren’t started in some corporate office, but in the back room of a Wasatch Mountain running store. Their founders, elite athletes and running store managers, wanted a shoe that let you run the way you were born to. They noticed that the design of most running shoes was hurting runners more than helping them. Elevated heels promote high-impact landing and narrow toe boxes squeeze the toes out of their natural position. To read more about the benefits of these zero-drop beauties, visit their website.
Next Adventure
For three and half years, Deek researched this “new and used” store concept by working in a handful of outdoor gear stores in Seattle and hit hundreds of yard sales in Portland and Seattle. During this same time, Deek had a successful shoe repair business with 12 different locations in two states, selling the majority of them to pursue his dream for what would be Next Adventure. In 1997, Bryan sold his house in Bellingham, Washington, and quit his job of 11 years at Les Schwab Tires to relocate to Portland with Deek to open the store in July of that same year. With two truckloads of used gear in 1600 square feet of retail space, Next Adventure was born. Deek and Bryan opened Next Adventure in the heart of SE Portland in July 1997. At that time, this “new and used” store on SE Grand Avenue was only about 1600 square feet – no bigger than a small coffee shop. Working seven days a week over the next ten years, Deek and Bryan spent most of their days in the store with customers; in the evenings, they focused on buying close-outs and learning the ropes of marketing and advertising; and, on weekends, they hit local yard sales at 7 am to purchase used gear. It was A LOT of time together for these two guys who have been friends since childhood when their passion for the outdoors spurred them to find their “next adventure.” visit their website.
