For the second straight month, Alpine Shop has been named one of three finalists in a national retailer of the year award.

In April, the Grassroots Outdoor Alliance, a community of independent outdoor specialty retailers that Alpine Shop has been a member of since 2002, named Alpine Shop as a finalist for their National Outdoor Retailer of the Year Award.

On May 22, Alpine Shop learned that Outdoor Retailer, the largest U.S. tradeshow and business event for the outdoor industry, selected the shop as one of three finalists for the 2019 Inspiration Award in the Retail division.

The Outdoor Retailer Inspiration Awards presented by adidas Outdoor celebrate champions of the outdoor community who inspire and encourage others to enjoy, participate in and support outdoor recreation. Annual awards are presented to individuals, organizations and companies, and recipients are honored at a live celebration during Summer Market.

The 2019 Outdoor Retailer Inspiration Awards will be held on Tuesday, June 18, 2019, on the first night of Summer Market in Denver.

No stranger to awards during the shop's 45-year-history Alpine Shop previously won the 2012 SNEWS/Backpacker Magazine National Outdoor Retailer of the Year Award for Growth in Outdoor Sports, and has one numerous "Best of" awards in St. Louis and Columbia, Missouri.
