Walkabout moves into Agnew Seed building
The wood floors have a shiny new finish, and a mountain scene mural adorns the walls.
Today, a former 101-year-old seed shop in downtown Roanoke officially took on a new identity.
Walkabout Outfitter, an outdoors and camping supply store, opened inside the former Agnew Seed building on Market Street in downtown Roanoke.
Kirk Miller, along with his wife, Tina, purchased this building for $525,000 at an auction in March. Kirk Miller owns Walkabout, while Tina Miller owns Ladles and Linens, a kitchen shop next door to Walkabout in downtown's market area.
Walkabout only moved a few doors away from its previous storefront at 307 Market St. to the Agnew shop at 301 Market St.
Also, both of the Miller's stores have locations in downtown Lexington. The Millers live in Rockbridge County.

Walkabout rocks. Great stuff, great service. Check them out. I wish them luck in the new space
