Then and now: For many, it will always be the Outdoorsman

Grocery Outlet is where the Outdoorsman was.

The Outdoorsman in South Lake Tahoe is still talked about by locals with a certain fondness.

It was here in the 1960s and at least through the late 1980s. It had a bit everything — from sporting goods to a decent selection of clothing to being the place to buy a gift.

Today it is home of Grocery Outlet.

Notice how signage has changed through the years.
