Our Story

Collector's Outpost: A Fandom Retailer founded by Passionate Nerds!

Welcome! 

We are so happy that you are here! Collector's Outpost is our family-owned fandom retail business founded in 2018 by owners Jean and Greg Johnson.


As a family-run company, we're professional nerds with a passion for running our business by fans and for fans. That means we've got an insider's knowledge of unique fandom offerings. In addition to pop culture favorite brands, we carry art and gifts from around the world! We're to help you navigate the world of fandom with confidence.


From the beginning of our brand, we've felt inspired by the joy and excitement of our favorite comic and anime convention experiences. Our mission is to cultivate bright, welcoming, and accessible spaces where anyone can easily shop for themselves or find perfect fandom gifts for their loved ones. No need to wait for a special occasion — whether in our brick-and-mortar stores or online, we bring our favorite fandom experiences to the everyday!


With the support of our customers across the country, we have continued to grow. Over and over at every step of the way since 2018, w
e have been blown away by your passion and support. Throughout the last 3 years, we have been thrilled to make needed expansions to our office and shipping center that allow us to continue offering the best service to our online community of shoppers, gift-givers, and collectors. We opened our second retail store location in 2021. Throughout 2022, we have moved and renovated our first store into a much larger space that to gives our teams and customers room to enjoy the fandoms that bring us together.
