Business Insider reporter Dominick Reuter in front of a Sierra store.
I wasn't sure what to expect the first time I visited Sierra, but now I'm hooked.
  • Sierra is TJX's outdoor lifestyle brand, selling apparel, gear, home goods, and pet products.
  • It's still small, but the footprint has nearly doubled in the last five years to 90 US locations.
  • Business Insider visited a store for a closer look at T.J. Maxx's younger, sportier sibling.

Shopping for outdoor lifestyle stuff is normally a quick way to burn through a lot of cash.
