"Our new stores will showcase a unique product selection for our active outdoor customers," said Ken Kacere, L.L.Bean's Senior Vice President of Retail. The stores allow devoted L.L.Bean fans and outdoor enthusiasts to experience first hand all that the legendary retailer has to offer.
Product assortment will include a selection of active, outdoor sports gear along with our other popular lines such as kids', and men's and women's casual apparel.
Adding to the interest of the new stores is the inclusion of L.L.Bean's popular Outdoor Discovery School, where expert instructors offer "Walk-On Adventures"-introductory hands-on experiences in such sports as kayaking and fly-fishing, providing customers an opportunity to learn about the activities that inspire L.L.Bean products.
The new stores will each employ approximately 125 people. The company is currently hiring for store leadership positions and will soon begin hiring for all store positions.
