Uncle Dan's Camping and Travel Store opened in 1972. Brent and Diane Weiss started the store in tribute to the couple's late uncle, Dan Weinberg. It started as an army supply store, and has grown into a leader in outdoor gear and apparel. This store is just one of three locations in the Chicagoland area. Each store offers a wide-variety of outdoor gear including clothing, footwear, camping equipment, food, electronics and bike accessories.
