INTERVIEW: Andrea Westerlind - Westerlind Outdoors

Last week on Mr. Goodyear's Neighborhood, we spent an evening at North Fork Table & Tavern, where we interviewed the executive chef, Jeffery Sanich, along with Pete Rasmussen from Sandhill Farms, and owner of Westerlind Outdoors, Andrea Westerlind. Andrea has a handle on the outdoor gear retail market in New York with a couple of shops in downtown Manhattan called ‘Westerlind.’ She owns and operates the stores in addition to providing marketing help for small outdoor companies trying to introduce their products to the world.  Fate brought her to Ogden Valley where she’s opened her latest Westerlind shop next to the Table & Tavern.  It’s a shop with a vintage European flavor, Andrea is Sweedish, but she’s also sourced products locally.  Her shop is like a crosshatch of Ogden Valley, Birkenstocks and all.  Adrea is bringing her brand of tech and fashion to Utah.
