Grand Opening of new Jackson Kayak Super Store in Atlanta on Saturday night (7/30)!

July 27, 2005

The
second Jackson Kayak Super Store, High Country Outfitters, will have its
Grand Opening on Saturday night at 7pm in its Buckhead store, yippee!

What is a Super Store you ask? Like our number one
volume store in the world, Valley Mill Boat Shop in DC, a Super Store
only carries Jackson Kayak whitewater kayaks. What the store guarantees
is that they will have the kayak you are looking, and if they don’t
have the specific color you want, they’ll be able to get it fast.

What about High Country Outfitters as a whitewater
shop? In the past years Bubba Sloan, owner, hasn’t made whitewater
his priority, allowing other Atlanta dealers, or destination shops handle
the whitewater market, while dabbling in the business, but not satisfying
his desire to have a great whitewater shop. The result was that he had
a beautiful specialty outdoor shop, with the best gear in hiking, camping,
etc., but a neglected whitewater department. Bubba’s two sons, James
and John, are both active whitewater paddlers, employees of the store,
and instructors for High Country. Bubba has decided to take his store
to the forefront of whitewater shops in Atlanta and approached Jackson
Kayak with the idea of being a Super Store. I am confident that High Country
will quickly become a whitewater shop worthy of attention from local boaters
and boaters from all over the Southeast for their whitewater needs.

As the owner of Jackson Kayak, and finally being able
to offer our customers a full line of whitewater boats, Creek, River runners,
River running/playboats, and full on Playboats I am proud to be the supplier
to High Country in their quest for having the best whitewater shop in
Atlanta.
