Meghan Roach, President & CEO,<\/strong> said<\/a>:
\n\u201cOur stores are more than destinations to shop, they are environments that bring our brand purpose to life. Each space reflects our deep connection to nature, community, and craftsmanship. With these new and refreshed locations, we are inviting customers to rediscover the Roots<\/a> brand.\u201d<\/p>\n

A Brand Rooted in Community and the Outdoors<\/strong><\/h3>\n
