A popular company known for offering clothing, gear and equipment for the outdoors has opened a new location in a well-known development near downtown Lexington.

Half-Moon Outfitters, which has a number of stores across the South, recently debuted a new location in the Old Mill at 711 E. Main St. in Lexington. The Half-Moon shop is on the upper floor of the main Old Mill building, not far from the Old Mill Brewpub restaurant.

Stop in and say hello to the hard-working team who made it all happen!”
