History
The business was founded by Rick White in Brisbane in 1975.
By 2004, Mountain Designs was operating a factory, head office and factory outlet in Brisbane. It had 29 regular stores: three in Queensland, seven in New South Wales, six in Victoria, seven in Western Australia, one in South Australia, one in the Australian Capital Territory, and four in New Zealand. At this stage, the chain was still yet to open in Auckland.[2]
Mountain Designs pulled out of the New Zealand market in 2014, citing a slow economy and a saturated market.[3]
