REI Co-op will open a new store in Marina del Rey in spring 2023. The 24,000-square-foot location will mark REI’s 30th store in California.
“A Marina del Rey location will allow us to better serve REI members and others who live, work and visit the amazing coastal community,” said Steve Lochan, REI’s divisional vice president of retail. “The store will be next to a path popular with those who enjoy time outside for fitness or relaxing in the sun on a waterfront patio or boat.”
The store’s address is The Boardwalk of Marina del Rey; 4655 Admiralty Way, Marina del Rey, Calif., 90292. Closest stores include Arcadia (26 miles away, opened 1999); Burbank (16 miles away, opened 2017); Manhattan Beach (8 miles away, opened 1977, relocated 1999); Northridge (19 miles away, opened 1991); Santa Monica (4 miles away, opened 2006), Woodland Hills (16 miles away, opened 2015).
REI has 4.6 million members in California, including 1.7 million in the Los Angeles DMA.
REI also actively partners with nonprofits across the nation to steward and maintain local trails and public lands to connect more people to the outdoors. Last year, the co-op invested $7.1 million in more than 450 nonprofits across the country, of which more than $1.2 million went to 75 nonprofits in California. Los Angeles-area recipients included California State Parks Foundation, Concerned Off-Road Bicyclists Association (CORBA), ForestWatch, Hike Clerb, Laguna Canyon Foundation, Los Angeles Conservation Corps, Mount Wilson Bicycling Association, Nature for All, Santa Catalina Island Conservancy, Santa Monica Mountains Fund, and United States Adaptive Recreation Center.
