HUNTSVILLE — A brand synonomous with the outdoors lifestyle is coming to Huntsville’s outdoor lifestyle retail center.
L.L. Bean, the iconic brand founded in Maine in 1912, will open the company’s first store in Alabama next April at Bridge Street Town Centre.
The nearly 16,000-square-foot store next to Dick’s Sporting Goods will bring L.L.Bean’s legendary outdoor-inspired apparel and footwear to the state, providing local customers easy access to shop their L.L.Bean favorites in person.
“Opening our very first store in Alabama is an exciting milestone for L.L.Bean, as we continue to meet our customers where they are,” said Chief Retail Officer Greg Elder. “We’ve always admired the outdoor spirit across the state, and we couldn’t be happier to bring our outdoor-inspired apparel and footwear to our customers in and around Huntsville.
“Whether new to the brand or a longtime fan, we can’t wait to help everyone in Alabama maximize the outdoor lifestyle all year long.”
For more than a century, L.L.Bean has been a trusted name in apparel and footwear, known for craftsmanship, quality and exceptional customer service.
With a purpose to inspire and enable customers to experience the restorative power of being outside, every L.L.Bean product is designed in Maine to be durable and functional, with a heritage style, the company said in a news release.
“Bridge Street Town Centre is at the heart of one of the fastest-growing markets in the Southeast, and we are focused on delivering a thoughtful mix of brands that reflect the energy and evolution of the region,” said Maxine Miller, assistant vice president of Lifestyle Leasing at Tanger. “We’re proud to introduce in-demand, exclusive, and first-to-market retailers that elevate the overall shopper experience and reinforce Bridge Street’s position as a destination unlike any other in the state.”
From moisture-wicking shirts and breathable summer styles to weather-resistant outerwear and cozy layers, shoppers will be able to find everything they need to enjoy the outdoors no matter the season.
L.L.Bean’s full assortment is crafted with the same commitment to function and style found in its iconic products like the Boat and Tote, Maine Hunting Shoe, Field Coat and Chamois Shirt, which helped establish the brand’s enduring reputation for high-quality outdoor-inspired apparel and footwear.
