Arcteryx,Benchmade, Mountain Hardwear, The North Face, Easton and more! Family-owned and -operated since 1955. Casual Adventure is a family-owned and -operated outdoor specialty store located in the Virginia Square neighborhood of Arlington, Virginia. Family owned and operated since 1955. Originally founded as a small grocery storefront by Oscar Stern in 1945, Casual Adventure has grown into one of the leading outdoor shops in the Washington Metro area. Currently owned by Oscar's grandson, Neil Stern, Casual Adventure continues to build on its strong retail tradition of customer service, premier outdoor brands and a unique merchandise mix few stores its size can duplicate. With each buying season, the Casual Adventure buying team works hard to provide its loyal clientele with fresh, cutting edge specialty products, while its sales staff offers knowledgeable, friendly service that is second to none in the outdoor specialty industry. Flourishing in a crowded and competitive market place, Casual Adventure has evolved with the times. From 1955 until 1985 Casual Adventure was known as The Surplus Center with its shelves stocked with military fatigues, field jackets, canteens, and other GI merchandise. As the marketplace changed the company reinvented itself, changing its name from Surplus Center to Casual Adventure in 1985. This allowed us to bring in a collection of the fine brands we stock today including; The North Face, Mountain Hardwear, Columbia, Patagonia and our latest additions Mammut and Arc'Teryx. Come visit our store here in Arlington Virginia. and allow us to outfit you for your latest "Casual Adventure."
