WE ARE CLOSING OUR DOORS. OUR LAST DAY IN BUSINESS WILL BE SEPT. 28TH

happy trails

We've had quite a climb these past four years, and now it's time to enjoy the views. After some careful consideration, we've decided to close Good Wolf Gear. Our final day in business will be Sunday, September 28th.

We started as a small brick and mortar dedicated to providing excellent service, quality brands, and an enviable selection of outdoor consignment. With your support, we've grown into so much more than a business, and we will miss you.

We'll miss evaluating your boots that hiked the Grand Canyon; outfitting you for Philmont; and seeing photos of your summit of Katahdin. You baked us zucchini bread; you sent us holiday cards; and you let us pet your adorable pups. You trusted us with your beloved gear; and you outfitted with us instead of the myriad other options down the road or online.

Keep an eye on your Inbox and social media as we break down camp and extend a Happy Trails Sale to our loyal community. This is not goodbye, but the beginning of another adventure!

Thank you,

The GWG Pack 🐾

Frequently Asked Questions

General

What is the last day the shop will be open?

Sunday, Sept 28th will be the last day the shop will be open.

What are your new store hours?

To best serve you, our new hours will now be:

Monday & Tuesday: Closed

Wednesday to Friday: 11AM–6PM

Saturday: 10AM–6PM

Sunday: 11AM–5PM

How can I best support you during this time?

Whether a consignor or customer, you have been an integral part of our community since we opened in October 2021. Our priority is to support you as we end this shared adventure, and we’d especially like to ensure that our consigned items find new homes so our loyal consignors are paid out.

Our next priority is to sell our new apparel, shoes, and gear. While sales will be lower during the earlier weeks of the sale, strong sales will support our staff as we close over the next two months. Please use this opportunity to plan ahead for birthdays, weddings, and even the winter holidays! Now is also an ideal time to purchase in bulk for your Scout or Ranger troop.

Consignment

When is the last day I can consign gear with you?

Sunday, August 3rd, will be the last day to drop off items for consignment. The consignment period will end on Sunday, September 28th.

What if I currently have consigned items in the shop that still haven’t sold?

Sunday, September 28th, is the last day you can pick up your consigned items.

If you do not pick up unsold items by that date, they will become property of Good Wolf Gear. We will do our best to find them a home through local organizations and donation options.

I have a consignor payout balance. What are my options?

  • Come into the shop and use your store credit! You get a 10% bonus when you choose to be paid out via store credit, and you can apply it to new and consigned items.
  • Call or email us so we can write you a check that will be available for pick up in the shop. Checks can be picked up in-person until Sunday, September 28th.
  • Set up an account for ACH payments within your Consignor Portal (see instructions here), and call or email us so we can transfer the money to your account. We are waiving the $2.50 service fee for all ACH payments from today until our closing. We will be able to make ACH payments until October 31st.

When is the last date I can get paid out for my consigned items?

The last day to get paid out via check is Sunday, September 28th. The last day to get paid out via ACH is Thursday, October 31st, and the $2.50 transaction fee will be waived. We will not be able to make any payouts after this date.

How do I setup ACH payments for my payout?

Please follow this link to detailed instructions to setup ACH payments. If ACH payments aren't enabled or you need us to resend your consignor access credentials, simply call or email the shop and we will take care of you.

Note: After you set up ACH payments, you will need to email or call the shop to let us know you want to get paid out. You aren't able to initiate payment on your end, the shop will need to do that.

What if I want to donate my consignment gear or consignment payout to the shop?

Thank you for your generosity! Please share your intentions for your donation in writing by emailing us at howl@goodwolfgear.comand be sure to include your first and last name, and what you would like to donate.

What happens to any consignment gear that hasn’t sold by the time the shop closes?

We will box up all consignment items that have not sold by Sunday, September 28th, and work to find them a home through local organizations and donation options. We are optimistic that our resourceful and robust GWG community will help us find new homes for any unsold items.

Other

What if I have unused store credit?

Store credit must be spent by our store closure date of Sunday, September 28th. If you don’t plan to spend your store credit and would like to donate it to the shop, please email us at howl@goodwolfgear.com so we can zero out your account. 

If you have store credit and no longer live in the area, we are happy to transfer your store credit to a local friend or family member. Simply email us their name and email address, and we’ll add the credit to their account. They have until Sunday, September 28th to spend the credit.

I have Pack Perk reward points to redeem for discounts. What are my options?

We will honor all Pack Perks reward points through Sunday, September 28th. We are happy to apply your reward coupons at check out for new, full-priced items. We can help you calculate the better price- our sale price, or your post-coupon amount. As always, consigned items are not eligible for discounts with reward points.

Can I still accrue Pack Perk points during the sale period?

No. You will not be able to accrue Pack Perk points during the Happy Trails sale period. We will honor all Pack Perk points you've earned to date, and we encourage you to use them. Thank you for your loyalty!

Can I return items I buy during your sale period?

Once our Happy Trails Sale begins on Friday, July 25th, all sales will be final. No returns or exchanges will be accepted. This will be the case for both new and consigned items. Manufacturer warranties function independent of our business and will be honored for all new apparel, gear, and shoes; be sure to retain your proof of purchase (receipt).

Are you selling your fixtures?

YES! We would love to find a new home for our beloved custom cash wrap, gently used grid wall, shelves, rounders, and other fixtures. Everything available for sale will have a price tag attached. If you have any questions about pricing, please ask us!

I have a Good Wolf Gear gift certificate, what are my options?

Good Wolf Gear gift certificates can be redeemed through Sunday, September 28th. You will also have the option to cash out your gift certificate via check. If you are interested in cashing out your gift certificate, please bring it to the store so we can check your balance and write you a check in that amount.

Will we see Good Wolf Gear down the trail?

We don’t know. We’re taking a snack break for now and have left open the possibility of a return. Stay connected with us via our newsletter and social media accounts to stay updated on any Good Wolf Gear News.

Do you have more questions? Comments? Concerns?
