CHALET SPORTS

BOZEMAN, MONTANA

Chalet Sports is a locally owned and operated business located in downtown Bozeman. Opened in 1953 by August “Gus” Gnehm from Switzerland who originally came to the US in 1939 to represent his country at the world’s fair in New York. In 1941, on a trip to visit a friend Gus found himself in Montana. Liking the area so much he decided to stayed for a while and coached skiing. On December 8th, 1941 the US joined World War II, and Gus enlisted and was stationed in Colorado.

Here he met his wife, Nikki, and they decided to move back to Montana when the war ended. After working in a local ski shop for a few years, he and Nikki decided to open their own shop called the Sport Chalet in 1953. Their main product focus centered on ski and alpine equipment for the local area.

Gus is credited with bringing skiing to the Gallatin Valley. Keeping this tradition alive has been the mission of Chalet Sports. In 1977 Sports Chalet became Chalet Sports. Still locally owned and operated Chalet Sports is proud to be serving the Bozeman community and surrounding area now are for many years to come. Living in Montana and being surrounded by all the elements that we experience in Big Sky Country brings the inspiration to our business.

FROG HOLLAR OUTDOOR

NEW BRAUNFELS, TX

Frog Hollar Outdoor was founded by Ryan and Julie Kirkland in 2019. The name comes from a country road in Julie's hometown in North Texas. Ryan's cousin has lived on this road for 40+ years, so they loved the connection to them both. Ryan and Julie enjoy spending most of their time outdoors when possible. Their love for hunting, spending time on the lake and at their family land in North Texas inspired the brand. Frog Hollar Outdoor was created to represent nature, back roads, bonfires and spending time with family and friends.

 

Frog Hollar Outdoor opened their Brick and Mortar store in December 2020. They inspire to have a high-end quality boutique for men, women and youth. Families can find unique gifts from local vendors and many Texas based companies. They have created a family friendly and dog friendly environment as you will always be greeted by their store dog Dolly when you walk in.

Mesquite Creek Outfitters

Georgetown, TX

Mesquite Creek Outfitters opened November of 2016 in Georgetown, TX with the goal of providing high-end lifestyle apparel as well as craft beer brewed locally in Texas. Mesquite Creek has evolved into many different things for many different people over the last five years but remains a community gathering place. The owners, Brad Strittmatter and Cody Hirt, saw a need years ago for a place that sells quality clothing, but wanted to provide an experience that no one else had offered before—hence, the bar in a clothing store.
 
Jordana Hirt spearheads the retail aspect of Mesquite Creek and aims to bring in a variety of apparel to suit the most traditional outdoorsy man/woman while keeping up with trends and providing something everyone can love whether it be apparel, shoes, or jewelry.
 
Cody Hirt and Brad Strittmatter also co-founded Veterans Outdoors, a charitable non- profit that aims to support Veterans and provide a positive outdoor experience for them and their families. Opening MCO was a great opportunity for the non-profit to create a space where meetings can be held as well as a communal place to get together and meet like-minded folks. 
 
We are born Texan and take pride in our Texas ways.

FAMOUS BRANDS

WATKINS GLEN, NY.

"Jim and Becky Guild opened Famous Brands in 1983 with $500 and a $20,000 loan from the local bank.  We started in a rented store front on the main street (Franklin St.) with 1,200 sq. ft., selling mostly Woolrich clothing. Business grew quickly as Woolrich was at the time one of the hottest brands going. In 1984, we bought a building down the street that covered 3,000 sq. ft.  In 1986 we were fortunate to purchase the 1,800 sq ft. building next door.  We knocked a hole in the wall and settled in with 4,800 sq. ft.  In 1990, we purchased a beautiful two store building next door that added 10,000 sq. ft. Through the years, we purchased 3 other buildings on the block, making it a contiguous operation.  In 2012, we built a second floor on the original building which  got us to the 30,000 sq. ft. mark.  In 2014 we added a Ben & Jerry's scoop shop.  The business is still growing, and hopefully will continue to grow and prosper.  Our two children, Jamie and Erin, are also important players that are heavily involved in the business.  We are so thankful with the blessings HE has given to us over our lifetime."
