It seems that there’s plenty of action on Haywood Road in West Asheville these days, from the planned renovation of the former Pastabilities restaurant into a new restaurant/music venue, to the expansion of Harvest Records.

Another Haywood Road business is also growing. It’s Second Gear, the the consignment shop specializing in outdoor equipment and clothing. From Second Gear on Twitter:

Second Gear is DOUBLING IN SIZE! We just started the renovations and hope to be in the new space by April 1st. Same location, more space!

More about the locally owned business:

Our shop is located in West Asheville at 444 Haywood Road (just a block from the I-240 Haywood Road exit).

We sell reasonably priced, secondhand outdoor gear (kayaks, canoes, mountain bikes, road bikes, and camping equipment), outdoor clothing, guidebooks and maps, and accessories. Second Gear also offers a great selection of new dealer samples from leading outdoor companies, priced below MSRP.

We’re a reliable place for you to sell equipment and outdoor clothing that you’ve outgrown, no longer use, or need to get rid of so you can upgrade.

We also offer a store credit consignment model where you get even more for your consigned items! Check out our consignment policy for more details.
