Join me as we explore the highlights of this exceptional occasion and delve into the irresistible allure of Outdoor Voices.
Hey, Hi, Hello Scottsdale! The Grand Opening Experience
As my friend Kaitlyn and I sat outside the entrance of the highly anticipated Outdoor Voices store, excitement filled the air. About 20 people or so lined the sidewalk and stairs, chatting and guessing what might be inside the swag bags promised for the first 40 people in the door.
Welcoming me with open arms, the friendly staff presented me with a complimentary Outdoor Voices canvas tote bag, instantly branding me a part of their active community. Inside I found a blue Outdoor Voices "Doing Things" baseball cap, a pair of branded socks, stickers and a small tennis ball. The anticipation was building.
Stepping inside, I was immersed into a sea of enthusiastic customers eager to explore the store's selection of activewear. The space was bustling with activity, vibrant energy and cheerful conversations only adding to the overall ambiance.
Merchandise that Inspires
The carefully curated merchandise at Outdoor Voices was a colorful sight to behold. As I made my way through the skinny store, I couldn't resist grabbing a second pair of their signature ankle-high socks, proudly displaying "Outdoor" and "Voices" on each sock. I chose lime green, since my bag already had a pair of navy. They also had three adorable dressing rooms with gigantic arched doorways and thick orange curtains. I tried on the baby pink tennis dress (went back to the rack) and green shorts with a 5-inch inseam that i ended up going home with!
It was evident that Outdoor Voices' commitment to quality and style was infused into every item and even in the dressing room! The employees were top notch, ensuring everyone had what they needed and grabbing different sizes upon request.
Engaging Activities and Prizes
Outdoor Voices went the extra mile to create an immersive experience for their customers. As I navigated through the store, employees passed out refreshing Ranch Waters and Topo Chicos, giving me something to sip on as I perused the tennis dresses, sports bras and hiking shorts. To my delight, they also handed out stickers that said "Doing things in Scottsdale." Such a cool local touch!
Outside the store, I discovered a local popsicle stand offering complimentary frozen treats. It was the perfect way to cool down while soaking up one of the last cool-ish days in Arizona, while relishing in the energy of everyone's excitement.
Outdoor Voices Community and Connection
One of the most impressive aspects of the event was the sense of community fostered by Outdoor Voices. Customers of all ages and backgrounds mingled, exchanging recommendations, and sharing stories of their active lifestyles. The genuine passion for outdoor activities and the spirit of inclusivity were palpable, making it easy to strike up conversations and forge connections with like-minded individuals.
Attending the grand opening of Outdoor Voices' Scottsdale, Arizona storefront was a very cool experience. From the moment I entered, the vibrant atmosphere, exclusive merchandise, and generous offering of 20% off all merchandise made this event truly memorable. Their commitment to fostering a sense of community and encouraging people to embrace an active lifestyle was evident in every aspect of the grand opening.
If you're a lover of comfortable, stylish activewear and seeking a brand that embodies the joy of movement, Outdoor Voices is undoubtedly the place for you. Keep an eye out for their future store openings and events, as they continue to bring their unique energy and exceptional products to locations across the United States (San Diego & Miami, you're next!).

I ended up trying out my shorts in Sedona for an 8 mile hike with Kaitlyn later that week! I'll tell you what I thought about the shorts, hell I'll even share a bit about the hike, in a different blog post.
