Outdoor Gear For Every Adventurer
Founded in 1972 as an army surplus store, our name came from the two men who founded J&H, Danny Johnson and John Hall. The original store was located on North Broadway in downtown Lexington, Kentucky. As J&H’s loyal customer base grew and evolved, J&H began offering outdoor apparel, equipment, and supplies to outfit backpackers and outdoor enthusiasts as they headed out for their next adventure.
Even though the J&H brand has evolved over the years, we’ve always remained committed to providing our customers with superior quality and the best customer service in the business. We take pride in helping all people get outdoors with the right gear for any adventure.
Whether you’re headed to your first trail or your hundredth trail, we’ll help get you there.
J&H is a proud member of the Grassroots Outdoor Alliance. GOA is a community of 89 independent outdoor specialty retailers and brands across the US.
