Unlock adventure.
It all started with a single store in 1996, when Rack Attack set out to help Vancouver adventurers bring all their gear on the road. With a passion for exploration, we quickly gained a reputation for being the go-to retailer for any outdoor enthusiast.
Fast forward to today, and we've grown into North America's premier retailer of vehicle rack solutions. With 41 locations across the continent, we're able to ship our products straight to your door in no time - and with no extra cost, most of the time.
Our brand new flagship Las Vegas, NV store
If you happen to live close to one of our stores, we can even install everything we sell for you. Many of our in-store customers opt for our 'factory style' rack installations, which are known for their quality and durability.
Over the years, we've built a loyal customer base, with over one million happy customers and counting. We pride ourselves on delivering the best products and customer service in the industry, and we're committed to ensuring that you're the next satisfied customer on our list.
Over a Million Happy Customers
We've been in business for over 25 years and we have our customers to thank for it.
In 2017, Banyan Capital Partners and Rack Attack management purchased the company from its original founder. With Banyan's support, we're poised for even greater growth and success in the years to come. As part of the Connor, Clark & Lunn Financial Group, Banyan brings a wealth of experience and expertise to the table, helping us continue to thrive and expand.
