Specialty outdoor retailer REI Co-op is opening a store in Loveland, Colorado, scheduled to launch in the summer of 2024. This location will provide outdoor gear and expertise for camping, cycling, running, fitness, hiking, paddling, climbing and more. For those who enjoy biking and snow sports, certified mechanics will staff a full-service bike and ski shop.
“REI’s presence in Colorado began in 1983 with our first store in Denver. Loveland will be our tenth location in the state,” said Janet Hopkins, REI regional director for the Rockies/Great Plains region. “We look forward to serving the community and visitors who come to enjoy Rocky Mountain National Park, Long View Trail and the Colorado Front Range Trail, and endless other outdoor opportunities. REI will also seek partnerships with local outdoor nonprofits to support their efforts in protecting natural places and welcoming more people outside.”
The 23,000 square foot location will reside at the Marketplace at Centerra in Loveland, Colorado. REI’s co-op membership includes 61,000 in the Loveland area and 1.32 million throughout Colorado.
REI actively partners with nonprofits across the country that connect people to the outdoors. In the last five years, Colorado nonprofits received more than $4.1 million from REI. Complementing REI’s community investments, REI Cooperative Action Fund invests in nonprofits building more equitable and inclusive outdoor communities. In the last three years, this community supported nonprofit distributed more than $1.1 million to Colorado nonprofits. To learn more about REI Cooperative Action Fund grantees, visit here.
