Chêne Gear Breaks Ground on Flagship Store in Stuttgart, Arkansas

Hunting apparel brand will open retail store in duck hunting stronghold in November 2024

Chêne Gear, the Memphis-based maker of premium waterfowl waders and technical hunting apparel, announced today the groundbreaking for its new flagship retail store in Stuttgart, Arkansas. The store, located in downtown Stuttgart at 2303 Hwy. 63, will open on Nov. 9, 2024 for the opener of the Arkansas duck hunting season.

Strategically placed in the heart of the city celebrated as the duck hunting capital of the world, the new 16,000-square-foot store will serve as a one-stop-shop and community hub for waterfowl hunters from around the world. The store will offer Chêne’s complete system of performance hunting apparel, best-in-class customer service, and special events.

“All of us cut our teeth hunting the flooded timber of Arkansas and still do to this day. It’s where the idea of Chêne Gear was born, so we’re proud to open a store in the heart and soul of Arkansas duck hunting,“ said Jeff Jones, co-founder of Chêne Gear. “The new store will allow us to serve the thousands of hunters who travel here each season and be a part of their special experience hunting the White River, Bayou Meto, and the countless other hardwood bottoms that make Arkansas the crown jewel of waterfowl hunting.”

Chêne Gear will host a grand opening party at the store and will release more details at a later date. To receive updates about the new store and product releases, please visit www.chenegear.com or follow the brand on Instagram.
