Millets is a British outdoor retailer with a history dating back to 1893 when J.M. Millet founded the company in Southampton as a drapery business. Over time, it evolved to focus on outdoor and camping equipment, capitalizing on the growing popularity of hiking and adventure activities. By the mid-20th century, Millets had expanded across the UK, becoming known for affordable and practical outdoor gear, including tents, waterproof clothing, and hiking boots. The brand went through various ownership changes, including being acquired by Blacks Leisure Group, which later became part of JD Sports in 2012. Today, Millets remains a key player in the outdoor retail market, offering a range of products for campers, hikers, and outdoor enthusiasts.
