It is an honor to outfit you for life.
We all know “fit” when we finally feel it.
It feels good, and it feels right. At RC Outfitters, our team understands how “fit” is designed to interface with human purpose to improve our experiences…and why it matters so much on this journey called life. Our aim is to provide comfort and enjoyment for every individual: mothers, fathers, grandparents, youth and anyone who enjoys walking, running, hiking, dancing, yoga and any other fitness or lifestyle activities imaginable.
Since 1977, we have offered compelling and inspiring solutions for active lifestyles, delivering products that not only look good and feel amazing but also perform exceptionally well. RC specializes in uncovering your needs, joining you on your journey and providing solutions to get you there from here.
The Heart of Peoria’s Historic Riverfront District
RC is situated in the heart of Downtown Peoria’s Riverfront, a commercial historic district encompassing seventeen city blocks in downtown Peoria, Illinois. The district's buildings reflect Peoria's longstanding development as an industrial center and major Illinois city.
Peoria was platted in the 1820s, with the oldest buildings in the district dating back to 1867…shortly before Peoria's economic boom of the 1870s. The building that houses RC was built soon after, in 1903.
A 1903 Gem Restored to Its Natural Beauty
Our 1903 Brick & Timber warehouse-style building, originally constructed as a lumber supplier, then Acme Manufacturing and more recently known as the Illinois Antique Center, was built to last; it has been beautifully restored to its natural bones and character.
The robust buildings that Oakford and Fahnestock, who became the largest food wholesaler in the Midwest, constructed in Downtown Peoria remain in service today. Goods and seasonings were packaged at 311 Water Street, now the home of RC Outfitters.
Our mission is to serve you with kindness, care, concern, and compassion.
