Outdoor retailer will open this fall

L.L.Bean, one of the nation’s largest outdoor retailers, will join the lineup at Pike & Rose this fall. The two-story, 22,000-square-foot store will offer clothing, footwear, winter gear and camping products — plus a weekly schedule of demonstrations, clinics and introductory hands-on courses for various outdoor activities. This will be the second massive outdoor store for Pike & Rose, where REI is now in the final stages of construction along Rockville Pike. More on both stores in our regularly scheduled edition this Thursday.
