Seawall Capital, the private equity owner of Kent Outdoors, announced it is moving the retailer to its headquarters to Summit County, Utah. Through an agreement with the state, Kent Outdoors projects to add 84 new, high-paying jobs over the next five years, enabling the company grow and support its employees and brands.
Originally known as Kent Watersports, with the acquisition of Kona Bicycles and BOTE in 2021, the company rebranded to Kent Outdoors to signify its expanded focus on the full breadth of outdoor activities and serving America’s growing passion to get outdoors.
The relocation of the headquarters to Utah demonstrates Kent’s commitment to leadership in the outdoor industry, setting down roots and creating jobs in a state known for its opportunities for year-round recreation.
Each Kent Outdoors brand will have team members at the new Utah headquarters location, while other roles and departments will remain at their original hubs. For example, the Kona Bicycles product design team will remain in Bellingham, Wash. The progressive model is designed for flexibility and versatility, and any employee can move between locations depending on company needs, current projects, seasonality and personal preference.
