10,000!

Happy almost-new year! If you’ve been in the store lately, you might have noticed a lot more consigned gear moving through. It’s not just you, we are continuing to see more and more folks signing on with us, and today we’re celebrating a huge milestone for The Hoarding Marmot: after almost seven years, we have officially passed 10,000 consignors!

What began in 2015 as a modest little shop in Spenard has grown into one of Anchorage’s go-to spots for outdoor technical gear, and we couldn’t have done it without all of our amazing consignors and customers. We’re working on the details now for how exactly to celebrate this milestone, but for now, we want to extend our sincerest gratitude to everyone who helped get the store to where it is today.

Stay tuned in the coming months for more details on what we’ve got planned, and have a happy new year!

- Dana and The Hoarding Marmot Staff
