MAY 15TH, 2020 - WILDERNESS EXCHANGE RETAIL STORE IS OPEN!

Dear Customers and Friends,

It is our great pleasure to announce that Wilderness Exchange will be re-opening to customer traffic starting on Friday, May 15th! Our hours will be 11am-6pm every day. We will still be offering our lobby pickup option as well - order online or over the phone.

In order to protect the health and safety of our staff and our guests, we will have certain shopping restrictions in place. These restrictions will include, but are not limited to:

  • Store hours will be 11am to 6pm.
  • Customers will now enter through the building main lobby (on Platte St.) and our front door will serve as an exit ONLY.
  • We will only be allowing a limited number of customers in the store at the same time.
  • We will be requiring you to wear a face covering if you wish to shop with us, as per City of Denver and our building guidelines. 
  • We will be practicing strict 6-foot social distancing.
  • We will conduct daily monitoring of staff temperatures and require anyone with symptoms not to report to work.
  • Staff will be wearing masks all the time and gloves when appropriate.
  • We will be practicing a heightened level of cleaning and sanitation measures on all contact surfaces and we will provide hand sanitizer for guests.

We are so stoked to see everyone in the store again, thank you all for the love and support through these strange times!

Come visit us!

 

Sincerely,

The WildyX Team

WE WILL BE OPEN FOR LOBBY PICKUP STARTING 5/9

Dear Customers, Family, and Friends,

2020 marks the twenty-year anniversary of Wilderness Exchange. We thought we would be closing the shop for two days for a staff camping and climbing trip to celebrate; little did we know that we would be closing the shop for two months due to the pandemic. This has been like nothing we’ve ever seen, and we miss doing what we love in the outdoors and sharing stories and adventures with our community more than words can say. For everyone who has supported us though these years, and especially through these past several difficult months, THANK YOU! 

As we consider how to reopen the shop, we will only do so with a “people-first” approach that values the health and safety of our customers and staff above all other concerns. This is what we are doing to achieve that goal:

  • Starting May 10, we will offer lobby pick up from 11-6 pm for orders placed online or by phone at 303-964-0708. We will guaranty that our customers’ orders will be ready within two hours or less if placed by 4 pm. We will continue this service for the foreseeable future.
  • We will be practicing a heightened level of cleaning and sanitation measures in the pick up area and in handling your order including the wearing of masks and gloves and continual cleaning of all contact surfaces. We will conduct daily monitoring of staff temperatures and require anyone with symptoms to not report to work. We will comply with the Colorado Public Health Order and the recommendations of public health officials in all of our operations.
  • We will launch "virtual gear shop", where our staff will use video conferencing tools to allow customers a full gear shop experience and one on one gear consulting. Call 303-964-0708 during store hours, and we’ll drop you a Zoom or Google Hangout invite.
  • Beginning May 15, we will allow limited public access to the store. Our safety measures will include: limiting customers to no more than 10 at a time, defining directional lanes and areas with 6’ social distancing, defining a dedicated entrance and exit, providing sanitation stations and heightened cleaning protocols, installing sneeze shields at the registers, and implementing a contactless payment solution.


This crisis has tested all of us, and we believe that we will get through this the way we went into it- as a community that finds purpose and meaning in interacting with our wild places and open spaces. The wilderness will be the place where we reconnect with what is so important to all of us, and we plan on being there with you every step of the way!

Sincerely,

Don Bushey
Founder and President

STAY AT HOME ORDER EXTENDED THROUGH 5/8

Dear Wilderrness Exchange Customers,

Due to the Denver 'stay at home' order extension issued today, our Denver retail store will remain closed through 5/8. Our website and shipping operations are still fully functional, so please consider supporting us through online shopping. We also sell on Amazon as WildyX.

You can also purchase a gift card over the phone by calling the shop (303-964-0708) Mon-Fri, 11am-5pm. FYI - Gift cards are ONLY redeemable in-store and not online, so you will have to wait until the retail store opens again to redeem you gift card.

As soon as it is possible, we will be re-opening our curbside pickup, but that will likely have to wait until the stay at home order is lifted. Stay tuned to this page for updates.

We truly appreciate all of the support from our loyal customers, we will see you all back in the retail store soon!

Stay safe out there!

BUY ONLINE. PICK UP CURBSIDE.

Dear Wilderness Exchange Customers,

As many of you know, we made the decision to temporarily close our retail store on Monday March 16 for one week due to concerns over COVID 19.  We will keep you updated on this closure, and continue to follow the guidance and recommendations of federal and state authorities;  we intend to do everything we can to keep our staff and our customers safe while continuing to serve the needs of our community through our web site, www.wildernessx.com

Over the past few days, we have been getting a lot of calls about offering an in-store pickup option. Starting tomorrow (Friday, 3/20/20), we will be allowing ‘in-store’ pickup at the front door of our retail store at 2401 15th Street from 11am-5pm every day.  Our retail store will still remain closed to customers, but we will be staging a pickup area in the foyer of our retail store. Wilderness Exchange will be practicing a heightened level of sanitation and public safety measures in the pick-up area and in handling your order.

You have 2 options for ordering:

  • You can place your order online at wildernessx.com and select ‘In-Store Pickup’ as your shipping option. Normally, our system does not accommodate same-day pickup, but we are making an exception during this pandemic.
  • You can also call the store and place an order for pickup over the phone (303-964-0708)

For both of these options, please allow at least 60 minutes after you place your order for us to collect your items and have your order ready for pickup.

Please call the store when you have arrived for pickup (303-964-0708)

Rentals and ski service will remain closed and customers will not be allowed in the store. Please understand that these precautions are in place to protect the health and safety of our staff. We ask for your patience and understanding through these challenging times.

 

Sincerely,

WildyX Team
