L.L. Bean is expanding nationally, and it’s targeting Glen Mills as a new location, its first store in Delaware County, writes Emma Dooling for Philadelphia Business Journal.
It plans to open a store in May 2026 at the Concordville Town Center in Glen Mills.
The outdoor apparel retailer has a 20,300-square-foot stand-alone store planned for the Town Center at the corner of U.S. Route 1 and Evergreen Drive, according to a leasing brochure for the shopping center.
The Concordville Town Center is anchored by an Acme. Other big-name retailers there are Target, Home Depot, PetSmart, and a dual Marshalls and Home Goods store.
The new store would join two other existing L.L. Bean stores in the Philadelphia area, at the King of Prussia Mall, and The Promenade at Sagemore in Marlton, New Jersey.
Based in Freeport, Maine, L.L. Bean sells apparel, footwear, home goods, and outdoor gear.
The 113-year-old retailer plans to open eight stores nationwide in 2026, in Pennsylvania, Alabama, Tennessee, Minnesota, Ohio, Illinois, Colorado, and Michigan.
L.L. Bean Chief Retail Officer Greg Elder said the company is entering new markets and investing in experience-driven stores to give customers more opportunities to connect with the L.L. Bean brand.
