CLIENT: THE BACKPACKER LOCATION: MANDEVILLE, LA
Michael Mathews
Chief Adventure Officer
The Backpacker
“Our new location on the Northshore will be unlike any shopping experience in the greater New Orleans area. After years of looking for a location that would allow us to extend The Backpacker experience to the east of Baton Rouge, we are very pleased with our space in Mandeville. … We are incredibly excited to expand our services to our existing clients on the Northshore and to make relationships with new shoppers.”
Adventure has arrived to the Northshore! The Backpacker, a Baton Rouge-based outdoor and sporting goods retailer, now occupies 7,500 square feet of a shopping center located on Hwy. 22 (the former home of our client H2O!) - bringing the largest selection of adventure gear to St. Tammany's backyard! Drawn to opportunities for hiking and biking the Tammany Trace, and fishing and sailing Lake Pontchartrain, The Backpacker is excited to now bring its offerings to our local market. This completed design allows plenty of natural light into the interior through an elevated roofline. Not only refreshing the look - but increasing visibility!
