Seven Hills Outfitters

Read about a local brand keeping Cincinnati's history in mind through their outdoor-focused products.

As early as 1853, Cincinnati was given the nickname “The City of Seven Hills” thanks to the seven hills that crescent the city. Today, Seven Hills Outfitters has embraced both the nickname and the history of the city by sharing curated goods and stories.

Seven Hills Outfitters is an online-based retailer in Cincinnati focusing on an outdoor lifestyle. Since the company was founded in 1970, they have remained focused on American brands, supporting other small businesses, unique imports, and the stories they can tell.

Dustin Wallace, head of growth for Seven Hills Outfitters, said the brand was created to help fill a gap in the outdoor retail space. Seven Hills saw that there was a lack of outfitters that owned or championed the American Midwest and its lifestyle, and so Seven Hills Outfitters was born.

“We felt that it was important to offer an online shopping experience that can support the outdoors lifestyle all over the USA but, at the same time, pays homage to the American Midwest,” says Wallace.

Wallace adds that the uniqueness behind the brand starts at product selection and the website. “It’s important to Seven Hills Outfitters to offer a mix of unique products and brands to avoid being too niche or too big box,” he says. “Another critical aspect is that every brand has its own landing page that includes a bit of the brand’s story and history for customers to learn more about who they’re shopping with.”

The point of sharing these stories is so that customer feel good about the products they’re purchasing from Seven Hills Outfitters, and they believe that all of that starts with knowing where your products are coming from.

When you order from Seven Hills Outfitters, you can also rest easy knowing that your package has been hand-picked and includes a handwritten note and collectable stickers.
