REI Co-op will open its larger relocated store in Lynnwood, WA, next month. At 39,480 square feet, REI reports that the store is “nearly twice the size of the Lynnwood store in the Alderwood Mall.”

The retailer will host a grand opening from April 4-6, with over two dozen outdoor brands participating, including Arc’teryx, AeroPress, Altra, Arbor, Backpacker’s Pantry, Black Diamond Equipment, Dragon, Eno Hammocks, Gear Aid, Gore-Tex, Gregory Mountain Products, Hydro Flask, Igloo, Mammut, Nikwax, Nuun, Oboz Footwear, Osprey, Oofos, Oxo, Salomon, Saucony, Saxx, Sea to Summit, and Tailwind Nutrition.
“After two decades at the mall, our team of more than 70 green vests look forward to sharing their expertise with our members and outdoor community at Alderwood Parkway Plaza Shopping Center,” said store Manager Nikki Mashapure. “With twice the sales floor space and expanded product offerings, the one-level store will feature a larger bike and ski shop, expanded backstock area and a larger loading dock for added efficiency to our operations. We are incredibly grateful to have a community room to offer to local outdoor nonprofit partners and to host in-store classes and workshops.”
REI’s Alderwood Mall location will close at 3 p.m. on March 23. The larger relocated store will soft open to the community on March 28.
