About Us
Our Story
Nestled in the vibrant landscapes of the Maritimes, The Trail Shop has been the cornerstone for adventurers since its inception in 1967. With the winds of change in 2017, we embraced a new chapter with the owner - Sue Stanfield, rekindling our commitment to bring life's adventures to new heights with authentic, high-quality outdoor gear and apparel. Our essence lies in the belief that the right gear can transform your outdoor experiences from ordinary to extraordinary.
Our Philosophy
We believe in the transformative power of nature — it's not just an escape but a return to ourselves, essential for our mental, physical, and spiritual well-being. Adventure is the heartbeat of our existence, urging us to dive into the unknown and revel in the thrill of discovery. Growth, to us, means pushing boundaries, constantly evolving, and embracing every opportunity to learn and expand our horizons.
A Journey Through Time and Space
From the first store opening in 1967, The Trail Shop has become the go-to destination for outdoor enthusiasts across the Maritimes. Our journey has led us from one location to another, each move marking a new milestone in our story. Today, we proudly stand in three locations - Halifax, Truro, and Moncton - serving as the starting point for countless adventures. Each store, with its unique charm, is a testament to our journey and a gateway to yours.
More Than Just a Store
At the heart of The Trail Shop is our team - a family of passionate adventurers, seasoned explorers, and nature lovers. We're not just staff; we're guides, companions, and fellow travelers on the road less traveled. Our collective experiences, from summiting peaks to navigating rivers, inform every piece of advice, recommendation, and story we share. We're here to connect, inspire, and help you gear up for whatever adventure calls your name.
