Specialty outdoor retailer REI Co-op unveiled plans to open 10 new stores in 2024 to better serve its members and the outdoor community at large. Locations have been finalized for Summer 2024 openings in Glendale, Arizona and Rancho Mirage, California, with a new store in St. George, Utah to follow in Fall 2025.
The co-op will open its doors in formerly occupied retail spaces at Arrowhead Promenade in Glendale, The River in Rancho Mirage and St. George Place in St. George. Each location will offer apparel, gear and expertise for camping, cycling, running, fitness, hiking, climbing and more. The locations will also include a full-service bike shop staffed with technicians to tune, repair and enhance bike performance. The new Utah location will also feature a ski and snowboard shop.
“Each community has an abundance of easily accessible natural places to play in addition to proximity to iconic national parks where REI currently guides active adventures,” said Mary-Farrell Tarbox, REI VP of Stores. “We look forward to serving as a welcoming resource to everyone through our staff’s expertise and broad product assortment. As we do in every community where we have a presence, we will also establish nonprofit partnerships to support their efforts to help get more people outside.”
REI plans to open 10 stores in total in 2024 and two in 2025, including:
- Spring 2024: Beavercreek, Ohio and Beaverton, Oregon
- Summer 2024: Glendale, Arizona, Ithaca, New York and Rancho Mirage, California
- Fall 2024: Albany, New York and Tulsa, Oklahoma
- Spring 2025: Durango, Colorado
- Fall 2025: St. George, Utah
As the country’s largest consumer co-op, anyone is welcome to tap into the expertise of REI’s store staff and online resources – such as its Expert Advice library – to learn or advance skills, plan adventures and more. Members who join the co-op enjoy a range of benefits, including a used gear program called Re/Supply to find great deals on lightly used gear and trade-in products for gift cards, discounts on shop services and experiences, an annual Co-op Member Reward of 10 percent back on eligible purchases and more.
