What can I say I was born in Maine and l.l. Bean has been around since I can remember. As A young boy getting the bean catalog was great as I lived hours up north from the original beans store. The current L.L. Bean has a much larger main building with multiple floors and additions over the years. There are numerous buildings now on the property each with its own specialty. If you go towards the parking garage across the street, there is a bean outlet store with some discounted items. The Main store now has many more parking lots on the grounds even some with electric car plug in stations that also accommodate the Tesla electric car. The electric car plug-in stations are also free of charge. I usually get a parking space at the free parking garage across the street. I usually spend my time there in the main building that has hunting and fishing and clothing items along with camping. I have bought and traded some firearms here and was pleased with my transactions. There is a nice trout pond in the main building that the kids like to visit. All Mainers know that beans is Always open. The thing I like is that there is excellent quality clothing and footwear that they stand behind, however you will get years of service from there items. There are numerous walk-on tours of outdoor activities you can sign up for and try actual ll bean equipment. I have done archery and skeet shooting that were loads of fun and equipment is all provided. Plan on spending some hours if you visit all the bean buildings. In the winter near Christmas, they have Santa in a barn where live reindeer are kept. There is a winter forest made with Maine Christmas trees and lights right near Santa s barn along with a warming yurt to warm up in. The hot chocolate stand is nice on the cold nights.
