Are there any publicly traded rock climbing/outdoor recreation retailer companies?
REI is not publicly traded, like you said. It is however, a Cooperative, which means that it is owned by the public and governed by a board of directors elected by the public. any person that shops with REI can become a member, and as such with a Co-op, participates in a profit share. So REI isn’t publicly traded, but it is a Co-op and excels at business because of our members.
