REI Co-op will open a new store in Laguna Hills in fall 2023. This is the retailer’s 31st location in California and 12th in the Los Angeles market.

“REI first came to the Los Angeles area in 1977 through our original Manhattan Beach location, which was the fourth store in our history,” said Steve Lochan, REI divisional vice president, retail. “Once open, REI Laguna Hills will be our 12th store in the market to better serve our 1.7 million members and the greater outdoor community who live, work and play in the southern end of Los Angeles.”

The store will open in Oakbrook Village at 24271 Avenida De La Carlota, Laguna Hills, CA. The closest REI stores to this location are in Tustin, CA; Huntington Beach, CA; Manhattan Beach, CA; Rancho Cucamonga, CA; and Santa Monica, CA.

REI currently has 178 locations in 42 states.
