L.L.Bean Is Opening 4 More Stores Across Canada After The First Locations Popped Off

These will be the first Canadian locations outside of Ontario!

Contributor

Canada is officially getting four more locations of L.L.Bean, an American outdoor equipment and clothing company that has been seeing serious demand in Canada over the past couple of years.

In 2018, the retailer launched a Canadian e-commerce site before bringing its first location in the country to Oakville, Ontario. It has opened three additional stores in Ontario since and is now branching out to other provinces.

The new locations will be in Victoria and Burnaby, British Columbia, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, and Calgary, Alberta.

"This continued success speaks to the inherent love of the outdoors and eagerness for new adventures that Canadian customers share with the brand. We look forward to continuing to explore opportunities across Canada and support this growing customer base," said Howie Kastner, president of L.L.Bean's Canadian partner, Jaytex Group, in a news release.

The brand sells everything from clothing and footwear to camping gear and fishing equipment.
