Our Story
Started in 1932 as an Army & Navy surplus store in Brattleboro, Vermont on Main Street, SAM’S is still a family-owned business in its third generation. Today, SAM’S operates stores in Keene, NH and Hadley, MA. The 92 year old downtown Brattleboro store location was closed in April of 2024.
In the beginning, it was a matter of supplying customers with work clothes which originated from the Army & Navy surpluses after WW1, and then later after WW2 and the Korean War. SAM’S Outdoor Outfitters today has one of New England’s most comprehensive inventories of quality brand names, spanning from Clothing for the whole family, Footwear including casual, athletic, hiking and specialized boots, and Sporting Goods encompassing a wide variety of sports equipment and gear with which one can enjoy our great outdoors to the fullest.
