DENVER — An outdoor gear retailer is closing its doors after 26 years in Denver.

Wilderness Exchange announced it will close its business on Sunday at Platte and 15th Street near Confluence Park.

“For 26 years, we’ve had the privilege and honor of serving the Denver and greater Front Range outdoor community,” Wilderness Exchange said in a statement. “For 26 years, our customers and our staff have shared so many wild experiences-from our vast backyard playground at the foot of the Rockies to the ends of the earth.”

“Having adventures-finding our place under the sun- writing our own epics; it’s a story that has been told and keeps writing itself in mountain shops – around campfires – from generation to generation. The wilderness teaches us a timeless lesson that lies at the heart of what it means to be human and alive. In this sense, Wilderness Exchange has always been way more than just a shop; it’s been a living and breathing community.”
