Why Sitka?

We carved out a new way of doing business

Since 2002, Sitka has generated multi-millions in retail sales, and ranks higher in sales per square foot than some of the most successful retailers in North America. (Source:CRBE) We're excited to share with you Sitka's powerful global community of loyal friends, and our years of experience, to give you a leg up with your Outpost. AND, Sitka doesn't just sell clothing. We combined a for-profit retail/wholesale business and an active non-profit society, because, at our core... we are in business to advocate for the wild places we love. 

Sitka’s non-profit organization, Sitka Society for Conservation (SSC), is committed to conserving lands, waters and ensuring the sustainability of communities. Every purchase at a Sitka Outpost will contribute at least 1% For The Planet, which will perpetuate the growth and outreach to prospects of the SSC and its adopted initiatives for each locale. 
Environmental stewardship is at the heart of everything we do;
Our vision is to Create a World in Balance.

Why Now, and Why You?

You asked for it!

Throughout Sitka’s 13 year history, there have been multiple offers from people who wanted to bring Sitka to their part of the world.

"Having access to a brand so focused on building and becoming a community means that the Sitka lifestyle can have quick and genuine uptake within just about any community or town across the globe. In a market flooded with retailers stocking the same, big-name soulless brands, Sitka has filled the gap on supplying quality products, designed with a purpose."
