2020 was a year that nobody expected to happen and a year that everybody has learned from. Challenging situations have a way of reassessing priorities and bringing out the best in all of us. While the pandemic caused a seismic shift in people’s habits and lifestyles, it has also become a catalyst for positive change for R.O.X.
If you love the outdoors, there is no better place to find the gear you need to face Mother Nature than with Recreational Outdoor eXchange (R.O.X.). The leading outdoor hub in the country, offering premier products and services from global top brands, not only suits you for whatever adventure you want to take on, but it also works with legitimate outdoor and eco-friendly organizations making you a responsible outdoorsman who can feel good about exploring the outdoors.
When the pandemic hit, people had to take a step back from outdoor pursuits and stay indoors. The nationwide mandatory lockdown helped keep people safe to some measure, but it also dealt a huge blow to many industries like outdoor adventure sports. This could have severely affected R.O.X., but as with businesses that find opportunities amid crisis, R.O.X. took this challenge to pivot into a larger sphere of movement where it not only bulked up their portfolio but helped other small businesses get started as well.
With the problems that people had to endure during Covid, R.O.X. developed the mobility category to cater to the needs of a generation who wanted a form of escape while improving their mental and physical health. The bicycle area on the 3rd floor diversified its existing bikes to include units for all types of bikers. A bike service area and bike cafe will also be included in this space.
R.O.X. also doubled down on their sustainability initiatives by launching their Green Project where they focused on recycling and using eco-friendly materials and practices to keep the environment clean. They also transformed the 2F into a hub for local enterprises that share the same passion for the outdoors and sustainable practices that preserve the playground we all call home.
In the past few years, in what could have been called the worst of times, R.O.X. established deeper relationships and yielded higher potential growth in more ways than one. By pivoting its business and expanding its reach, they’ve embarked on a new journey and gained a bigger family along the way.
To explore the great outdoors, one must be equipped with the knowledge and the right gear. Recreational Outdoor eXchange (R.O.X.), Southeast Asia’s biggest outdoor hub does not just offer world-class products and services, it also organizes activities that will make your outdoor adventure even easier and safer. R.O.X. does not only develop the inner adventurer in you; it also works with renowned outdoor and eco-friendly organizations in elevating environmental concerns; making you a responsible outdoorsman. R.O.X. will give you no excuse to #PlayOutsideResponsibly.
