PORTLAND — L.L. Bean will open its first U.S. outlet west of the Mississippi River — in Minnesota’s Mall of America — later this year.
The Star Tribune reported that the Freeport-based retailer will announce the opening of a 29,000-square-foot outlet store Tuesday. The store is scheduled to open in the country’s second-largest mall on Nov. 10.
The store will be an anchor tenant in the mall, taking over a former Bloomingdale’s location, according to a company statement. It will include the retailer’s Outdoor Discovery School, which offers demonstrations of its equipment and schedules clinics on outdoor activities like kayaking and fly fishing.
It will be the company’s first store in Minnesota and its 21st retail store outside of Maine.
