We are excited to announce that we will open our fifth REI flagship store in late 2016 in the historic Uline Arena – the site used by President Eisenhower for his inaugural ball and the Beatles for their first concert in the U.S.
This is a big deal!
Washington, D.C. is a fast growing outdoor community, including more than 281,000 REI members who live in and around Washington, D.C. already. We want to provide a place outdoor enthusiasts in the community can come together to dream and scheme about their adventures.
