Columbia Factory Store

Columbia Factory Store is an outdoor apparel and gear outlet located within Pittsford Plaza on Monroe Avenue in Rochester, NY. The store opened on August 9, 2024, marking the first Columbia retail location in the Greater Rochester area. Occupying a 5,562-square-foot space at the northern end of the plaza, the factory store carries a full range of Columbia Sportswear products for men, women, and children. Columbia, the parent brand, has operated for over 80 years as a global outdoor apparel and equipment company.

The store stocks Columbia-brand sportswear, outerwear, footwear, and accessories at factory-outlet pricing. Product categories include:

• Insulated winter jackets and rainwear
• Hiking boots and outdoor footwear
• Fleece layers and performance base layers
• Cold-weather accessories like beanies and gloves
• Gear designed for activities such as hiking, skiing, snowshoeing, and kayaking

As a factory store, the location carries both current-season styles and past-season inventory at reduced prices. Columbia also offers a Greater Rewards loyalty program with free shipping, points on purchases, and birthday offers. Military members, first responders, seniors, and teachers can access additional discounts.

This factory store is the only Columbia brick-and-mortar retail location serving the Greater Rochester market. Columbia's product line centers on performance technologies engineered to keep wearers warm, dry, cool, and protected across seasons — a practical fit for the Rochester area's variable weather and proximity to Finger Lakes hiking and Adirondack recreation. The factory-outlet format gives shoppers access to Columbia gear at prices below standard retail.

Columbia Factory Store sits at 3349 Monroe Avenue, Space 4100, in Pittsford Plaza — a shopping center with more than 40 years of history in the Pittsford community. The store is positioned between Under Armour and Goldfish Swim School at the plaza's northern end. Pittsford Plaza is anchored by Wegmans and includes a mix of national retailers, restaurants, and entertainment options. The plaza offers private-lot parking, and the Pittsford Trail System provides a cycling route to the center that avoids heavy Monroe Avenue traffic. Store hours are Monday through Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. and Sunday from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
