L.L.Bean plans to open its fourth store in Massachusetts in Mashpee. The 20,000 square-foot store will be located at Mashpee Commons, a mixed-use community featuring a variety of dining, shopping, entertainment and residential options.
The location is scheduled to open the summer of 2017. It will employ about 75 people, according to a release.
“Mashpee has a lot of elements that make it an attractive location for us. There’s a host of outdoor recreational opportunities readily available nearby, with an active population base that regularly takes advantage of these resources, combined with a vibrant tourist community,” said Ken Kacere, senior vice-president and general manager of retail at L.L.Bean. “We’re very excited to be infusing a bit of the Maine essence and the L.L.Bean brand into the area.”
This will be L.L.Bean’s 34th retail store outside of Maine. In Massachusetts, L.L.Bean also operates a fulltime kiosk at the Shops at Prudential Center in downtown Boston, as well as a seasonal kiosk at the Natick Mall.
