REI Co-op will open a Re/Supply store selling used gear and apparel in Clackamas, OR in late August 2023.
Located in the Clackamas Town Center, the 16,113-square-foot store will open a few doors down from the co-op’s existing store which opened in 2007. The new store will join the co-op’s Re/Supply store in Manhattan Beach, CA, which opened in 2020.
“As a member-owned co-op, we have a responsibility to preserve the long-term health of the planet,” said Bob Cagle, REI regional director. “Our Re/Supply offering reimagines the lifecycle of outdoor products and helps keep gear where it belongs out on trails, waterways and other natural places. Opening a Re/Supply store in the community builds on the popularity of our used program that is enjoyed by many Oregonians.”
REI Clackamas Re/Supply merchandise will sell used outdoor gear and apparel that will frequently change with lightly used products REI receives through its returns process and trade-in programs.
This store builds on the co-op’s history, encouraging the exchange of used gear from its members. REI has sold used outdoor equipment to co-op members for over 60 years through its nationwide garage sale events at its retail stores. In 2018, the co-op innovated within its used business model and launched a used-specific e-commerce site, trade-in program and used gear for sale in most of its retail stores.
When it opens in late August 2023, REI’s Re/Supply store in Clackamas will join the co-op’s other eight stores in Oregon.
