Working inside a one-car garage, ALPS founder Dennis Brune and his wife, LaRayne, began a business with the aim to create quality outdoor gear that would be available at a reasonable price.

Now the company is celebrating 30 years in business, and its product lines encompass a wide range of outdoor supplies.

“Enjoying the outdoors is a blessing in so many ways,” Brune said.

“Whether we are camping by a beautiful lakeside with our family, taking a path less traveled deep in the backcountry or even tag-teaming spring gobblers with a good friend, outdoor adventures edify the soul and instill memories that last forever. For our family and our employees, the outdoor lifestyle and our loyal customers have blessed us greatly.”
