Outdoor retailer REI Co-op plans to establish ten more locations this year to better serve its members and the outdoor community.
The 10 store openings include Beavercreek (Ohio) and Beaverton (Oregon) in spring; Glendale (Arizona), Ithaca (New York) and Rancho Mirage (California) in summer; and Albany (New York) and Tulsa (Oklahoma) in fall.
The co-op will open its doors in formerly occupied retail locations at Glendale’s Arrowhead Promenade, Rancho Mirage’s The River, and St George Place in St George.
Each location will provide a selection of clothing, equipment, and knowledge for camping, cycling, jogging, fitness, hiking, climbing, and other outdoor activities.
“Each of these communities has an abundance of easily accessible natural places to play in addition to proximity to iconic national parks where REI currently guides active adventures,” said Mary-Farrell Tarbox, REI VP of Stores.
“We look forward to serving as a welcoming resource to everyone through our staff’s expertise and broad product assortment. As we do in every community where we have a presence, we will also establish nonprofit partnerships to support their efforts to help get more people outside.”
The co-op will publish details about three additional stores debuting this year after contracts are finalized. It has also announced two store openings for 2025 thus far – Durango (Colorado) in spring and St George (Utah) in fall.
