Luden's Bulletins:


Our Beginnings

In business for over 139 years, Luden’s is considered the place for Lowcountry sportsmen to buy high quality outdoor gear. Established in 1867 as a ship’s chandler, J.J.W. Luden’s is the oldest retail establishment in Charleston, providing a wide array of products from clothing, shoes and canoes, to unique books and gift items.

Luden’s got its start supplying paint, groceries, hardware --even rum-- to sailors calling on Charleston’s busy seaport. With the advent of steam and diesel engines, Luden’s shifted its product assortment to meet the needs of the local mariners. In 1964, Luden’s was sold to the Butler family, who has carried on the tradition of providing the finest provisions available for the active Lowcountry lifestyle.
Focus on Quality

Although rum is no longer available, you’ll find practically anything you need for today’s outdoor pursuits. Once you step into our charming, spacious store in Downtown Charleston, you are sure to find something you like. Evoking the atmosphere of simpler times from long ago, Luden’s carries a vast array of marine supplies, clothing, maps, fishing tackle, canoes and foul weather gear. Our friendly and knowledgeable staff takes great pride in carefully selecting only the highest quality merchandise that will provide you with years of trouble-free service.
