Live and breathe the sporting lifestyle
Over 140 years in the outdoor business have taught us something. We like to play hard—we fish, we hunt, we hike, we travel— and we need gear that will keep up with our pursuits. Many of our workdays involve going from the store or office directly to the river, or squeezing in a morning turkey hunt before an 8am board meeting. “Work hard, play hard” may be old fashioned, but it’s how we operate. And, we’ve discovered, that’s how our customers like to operate as well. You’re active; you like to get outside any chance you have, fishing and playing and getting your hands dirty. But you also appreciate the finer things in life. Feeling the sharp swing of a laserfocused fly rod. Sipping a mellow gin and tonic while floating down the river. Reveling in the oh-so-simple comfort of a shirt that fits just right. We’re proud to be your go-to destination for men’s and women’s clothing, fishing and hunting equipment, home, gift, and pet goods. And with 2 retail stores in the greater Atlanta area, we’re ready to be your go-to local store. Visit us at our Atlanta Buckhead or Alpharetta Avalon locations. Interested in the sporting lifestyle but not sure where to start? Our stores offer free, inviting Fly Fishing 101 (FF101) classes
and a variety of free seminars and classes— go to orvis.com/stores to check out nearby store schedules or sign up online. Our friendly, professional staff enjoys nothing more than introducing someone into fly fishing and wingshooting. We’re firm believers that one never stops learning, and in that spirit have a
selection of fly-fishing and wingshooting schools located across the country. Whether you are looking for a nearby school or are in the mood for a trip, the Orvis schools experience can increase your sporting knowledge in gorgeous, inviting locales. We also have a carefully selected in-house adventure travel team, ready to help you craft the best
possible fishing, hunting, or adventure trip. Our experts even guide several trips a year, offering you the option to travel with our well-seasoned team. At Orvis, we live and breathe the sporting lifestyle. We are in this business because we genuinely enjoy it, and look forward to welcoming you into the family.
