November Green Drinks @ The NEW Gear Fix
September 3, 2019
$65 – $75Every other month, The Environmental Center and our Green Spot business partners host Green Drinks – a networking event with a mix of business and community members.
Keeping Gear (and People) Going!
This month, we’ll be checking out The Gear Fix’s new space. This shop is an important part of our outdoor community here in Bend, and we’re excited to see them expanding to a larger space – twice the size of their old location (or 7,000 square feet to be exact). The new space, built around 1915, has some history behind it too. It used to be a “box factory” as part of the Mill!
The Gear Fix is a consignment shop that specializes in repairing and servicing any gear that gets you outside. If you can repair your favorite jacket, a reliable backpack or a great pair of boots instead of buying something new – why wouldn’t you? Repairing instead of replacing prevents waste and saves resources!
Going forward, this larger space will allow the Gear Fix team to bring their repair shop down to ground level where consumers can see repairs in action while shopping around. Making this service visible and highlighting repairs will allow Gear Fix to encourage people to treat their purchases like an investment, and to think twice before disposing any gear. Of course, we love this concept!
Come learn more about what Gear Fix is all about and what they have in store for 2016.
Please note the new address: 550 Industrial Way in Old Mill Marketplace. (Not to be confused with “The Old Mill”!) Located between Webcylery & Atlas Cider.
Green Drinks is an international concept and is an enjoyable way to network, learn about local businesses and their sustainability efforts, and have an eco-conscious drink or two! Bring your own cup and consider carpooling, walking, biking or transit to get to the event!
