Rhoback Apparel Store Locations: Everything You Need to Know
Rhoback operates a single permanent retail store: the flagship in Charlottesville, Virginia. All other sales happen through the website or temporary pop-ups at select golf and college football events. If you want to see, feel, and try on performance polos or quarter-zips before committing to a purchase, the Charlottesville location is your only in-person option year-round.
The Charlottesville Flagship – Your Only Full-Size Store
The downtown Charlottesville store carries the complete current-season lineup: men’s and women’s performance polos, pullovers, joggers, outerwear, and hats. The staff can walk you through the fit differences between the Performance and Lifestyle cuts, which is especially useful if you’re between sizes.
Fit breakdown you’ll actually get in person: The Performance Polo uses a stretch-mesh fabric that runs slightly trim through the chest and shoulders — many golfers find their normal size works in the Lifestyle cut but need to bump up a half-size in the Performance version. The Quarter-Zip pullover, by contrast, has a more relaxed silhouette, so if you prefer a layered look, you may want to stay with your usual size. Trying them on side by side at the store is the fastest way to lock in your fit without guesswork.
Before driving in, check the website or call for current hours — they shift during holidays and special events. Parking is metered street parking plus a few nearby lots; plan for a short walk from your car. The store is located in the Downtown Mall area, which can get busy on weekends, especially during UVA football home games.
Applicability boundary: This store stocks full current-season inventory, but it does not reliably carry every size in every color. If you wear XS or 3XL, or you’re hunting for a discontinued colorway or sale markdowns, the online store is far more likely to have what you need. The physical store’s sale rack is small and inconsistent — typically just a handful of items from the previous season, not the deeper markdowns you’ll find online.
Verification step: Before making a trip, call the store directly (the number is on Rhoback’s website) and ask them to check stock for the specific style, color, and size you want. They can usually hold an item for same-day pickup, but holds are not guaranteed beyond a few hours. If you’re coming from more than an hour away, it’s worth asking them to confirm inventory the morning of your visit.
Practical implication for your next purchase: If you live within an hour or two of Charlottesville, visiting the store eliminates sizing guesswork and shipping wait. If you’re farther away, ordering two sizes online with the prepaid return label (included with every shipment) is the faster, lower-risk path. Returns are accepted at the store too — just bring the online purchase with tags and within 30 days.
Pop-Up Appearances – Event‑Only, Not Every Stop
Rhoback does not wholesale to pro shops or mall retailers, but it sets up temporary retail at major golf tournaments (The Masters, PGA Championship, BMW Championship) and SEC college football weekends. These pop-ups carry limited‑edition colorways and tournament‑exclusive gear that never appear online.
Realistic trade‑off: Pop-ups are tied to specific tournaments or cities, not every tour stop. You cannot assume a pop-up will be at the PGA Tour event nearest you. For example, in 2024 Rhoback had a pop-up at the PGA Championship in Louisville but did not have one at the Memorial Tournament in Dublin, Ohio — even though both are high-profile events. The brand typically announces pop-ups two to three weeks in advance on Instagram and via email alerts. If you show up expecting one and it’s absent, you’ll leave empty-handed.
Inventory reality: The temporary setup carries a much smaller inventory than either the flagship or the website — hot sizes (M, L, XL) can sell out within hours of the gates opening. If you’re chasing a specific limited color (like the Masters-exclusive green polo with a subtle logo), you need to arrive early on the first day. By Sunday, the selection is often reduced to less popular sizes (XS, 2XL+, or odd color combos). Pricing at pop-ups matches online retail, but there is no online discount for attending — you pay full price for the privilege of seeing it in person.
How to confirm: Check Rhoback’s “Events” page on their website and follow their social media. If you’re traveling to a tournament, confirm the pop-up exists before you buy tickets. A quick Instagram search for “Rhoback pop-up [event]” often turns up real attendee posts verifying whether it’s there. Also, some pop-ups operate inside the tournament’s merchandise tent, so you may need a tournament ticket just to enter — factor that into your cost.
Shopping Online – The Primary Channel
The website carries the full size range (XS–3XL), every current color, regular new drops, and the best selection of sale items. Orders over $150 ship free within the contiguous US, and returns are accepted within 30 days. Standard shipping typically takes 5–7 business days; expedited options are available for an extra fee.
Fit verification step: If you’ve never worn a Rhoback product, order the same style in your usual size and one size up. Rhoback’s Performance Polo, for example, runs slightly trim — many golfers find their normal size works in the Lifestyle cut but need to bump up a half-size in the Performance version. The prepaid return label makes the two‑size test painless. Just don’t open both packages; return the one that doesn’t fit in the same box it arrived.
Mismatch to watch for: The online store does not show real‑time stock for the Charlottesville store, and vice versa. An item that appears available online may not be on the shelf in Virginia. Also, the website often sells out of limited drops (like Masters‑exclusive polos) within minutes. If you miss the online drop, the only hope is the pop-up at the event itself — but stock there is even tighter. The brand has also started doing “restock drops” for popular items, announced via email — sign up for their newsletter if you frequently find your size out of stock.
Sale section tip: The online “Sale” section is updated roughly every few weeks, with markdowns ranging from 20% to 50% off. However, sale items are final sale — no returns. If you’re unsure about fit, stick with full-price items you can return.

Frequently Asked Questions about Rhoback Stores
Does Rhoback have stores inside golf pro shops or malls?
No. The brand sells exclusively through its own website, the Charlottesville flagship, and temporary event pop-ups. You will not find Rhoback on a pro shop rack or a mall kiosk.
Can I return an online purchase at the Charlottesville store?
Yes, as long as the items are unused, with tags, and within the 30‑day return window. The store will process the refund, but it may take a few business days to appear on your card.
Will Rhoback set up a pop-up at every PGA Tour event?
No. Pop-ups are announced only for specific tournaments and cities. Check the brand’s event calendar or social media for the current schedule.
Does the Charlottesville store carry past-season or sale items?
Occasionally, but the selection is unpredictable. The online “Sale” section has a much larger and more consistent markdown inventory.
