Founded in 1972 as an army surplus store, our name came from the two men who founded J&H, Danny Johnson and John Hall. The original store was located on North Broadway in downtown Lexington, Kentucky. As J&H’s loyal customer base grew and evolved, J&H began offering outdoor apparel, equipment, and supplies to become a great backpacking store for any outdoors enthusiast. Even though we have changed a lot, J&H still stands above other Lexington outdoor stores by providing the best customer service in the business.
