SouthPark Small Business Story

Meet Bill Bartee, the owner of Jesse Brown's Outdoors


"The moment I first fell in love with the outdoors was on the farm, feeding cows and enjoying what was outside." Meet Bill, the fourth owner of Jesse Brown's Outdoors. That childhood memory on a South Carolina farm shaped his path to carrying on a 55-year legacy that started with Jesse Brown, a pilot and pioneer, back in 1970.

Bill's mission? Individual attention, perfectly fitted hiking boots, and helping every Charlotte adventurer find their next great outdoor challenge. From small-town roots to SouthPark's vibrant community, Bill believes in knowing your neighbors and supporting their outdoor pursuits.
