Hi there! Feel free to drop us a text if you enjoy the episode.
In this episode of the New England Endurance Podcast, we interview Emily Kwesell and Cody Whelan, co-founders of Treeline Outfitters in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. We explore the innovative concept of their outdoor gear shop that doubles as a taproom—an inviting space that brings endurance athletes and outdoor enthusiasts together.
Emily and Cody share the inspiration behind Treeline, tracing its roots back to their personal experiences in endurance sports. They discuss how they’ve built an inclusive community hub that aims to break down intimidation barriers often found in outdoor gear shopping. From hosting gravel rides and run meet-ups to tasting craft beers from local breweries, Treeline fosters authentic connections and a sense of belonging.
The conversation dives into the unique challenges and opportunities of balancing retail with community engagement, as well as the importance of selecting brands that align with their mission of accessibility and positive impact. Emily and Cody also discuss their vision for expanding the Treeline model to new communities and how New England’s rugged terrain shapes resilient athletes.
