REI will open a 30,500 square-foot, two-story store in Mountain View, CA store as part of a new retail development, called Charleston Plaza, being constructed by Dollinger Properties at the site of a former industrial park. The REI store, which will employ about 55 full- and part-time staff, will be located on Route 101 at Charleston Road across the highway from the headquarters of Google and Intuit.
“This store will provide a more convenient location for the 80,000 REI members who live within 15 miles of the site,” REI director of real estate Jerry Chevassus said. “We look forward to outfitting our members for hiking in the Palo Alto Baylands, mountain biking at the Stevens Creek Trail and road biking along Skyline Boulevard.”
