Founded as an outfitter for hunters and fishermen passing through Freeport on their way to the Maine woods, LL Bean has grown to be an internationally-renowned supplier of everything needed for outdoor (and some indoor) activities. |

A half dozen parking lots, administered by Bean employees, fill up quickly every day with cars bearing license plates from all over America and Canada. The large, attractive store never closes: it's open 24 hours, 365 days a year, is often mobbed during the day, and can be busy at night. Bean's reputation was built by selling sturdy, good-quality items at reasonable prices. The returns policy is absolute: if you find a Bean item unsatisfactory at any time, return it for a refund. Should you stop at Bean's, remember that the store carries dozens of items for which there is no room in the catalog, and that there's also a factory store for end-of-season and distressed merchandise. It's located across Main Street in its own building. You should also know that Bean's will ship your packages home for you from the store for a reasonable charge so you don't have to cart them around on your travels if you don't want to. Stop in so you can say, Bean there, done that. |
