At Recreational Equipment, Inc. (REI), we exist to inspire and enable life outside for everyone. We believe that it’s in the wild, untamed and natural places that we find our best selves, so our purpose is to awaken a lifelong love of the outdoors, for all. Since 1938, we have been your local outdoor co-op, working to help you experience the transformational power of nature. We bring you top-quality gear and apparel, expert advice, rental equipment, inspiring stories of life outside and outdoor experiences to enjoy alone or share with your friends and family. And because we have no shareholders, with every purchase you make with REI, you are choosing to steward the outdoors, support sustainable business and help the fight for life outside. So whether you’re new to the outdoors or a seasoned pro, we hope you’ll join us.

Decathlon was founded in 1976 in Lille, France, with a mission to sustainably make sport accessible for the many. Before too long Decathlon UK opened its first store in Surrey Quays, London, in 1999, to help the British population get more physically active through sport. We have since developed into a full multi-channel shopping experience, including over 40 purpose-built stores across the nation. As a family-owned company, we create a unique range of expertly designed products across over 70 sports that offer unbeatable value for money. Our teammates are always on hand to share their passion and trusted expertise, giving you all the sports, advice, equipment and services, you need at the most affordable prices.

Since our humble beginnings, it's our products, services and prices that have kept our customers happy. We're the only UK outdoor retailer to offer good, better and best choices from a £10 walking shoe to a £900 air tent. It's what our customers expect from an Aladdin's cave of outdoor gear and it's part of what makes us special. From experienced mountaineers to dog walkers and their dogs, everybody's welcome. We care more about those people than ticking boxes and we know it's what keeps them coming back. Our values aren't just posters on the wall We welcome everyone with open and enthusiastic arms, helping them to step into the outdoors whether it's to go walking, camping or fishing. Value matters too so we'll keep offering cracking deals and only selling customers what they need. Innovation is who we are. From unique product areas to exclusive brands, we're constantly looking for fresh ideas to keep things fun for our customers. Our mission is clear: inspiring everyone to get outdoors for less and love it as much as we do. Founded to help customers get the most out of the outdoors, it's our name and it's our nature. This hasn't changed a bit and it never will.
