This is it. Ground zero for one of America's greatest lifestyle brands. The world HQ for LL Bean is sprawling. Buildings dedicated to the outdoor adventure vs. Hiking/camping. Vs. decking out your house with the quitensial Maine aesthetic (beachy comfort at it's finest). Warning: pretty easy to find you've spent hours wandering through building after building.
Amazing store. Really friendly workers and it is so cool how it is always open. Always fun to explore the store at 2 in the morning when only the workers are there.
A unique shopping experience in one of the largest retail establishments I've ever seen.
Historic landmark in Freeport. Everything you need for the outdoors.
Favorite destination- we visit it few times a year. The kids love it! This legendary store is a Maine constant.
Great place excellent selection of clothes and equipment. The only warning is make sure you bring your wallet. Waiting and watching for their sales can save good chunk of change
Ok if it is your preference. Nice facility and lots of shopping around town of Freeport.
Super nice store with very helpful staff and lots of sales.
This is the original store. Tons of things to buy from clothing and gear to furniture.
We stopped in for a bite and the hostess took our name for a table. Another group came in and the hostess decided to seat them. We were standing right next to the hostess when she did that and then she apologised.
Nice well organized and clean store. People working there are so helpful.
Great place to spend the day. You or your kids won't be dissapointed. Stand behind their products. Awesome customer service. Even sent a follow up letter when my child got a very minor injury there... I have never had a place care so much about its customers .
Not an Outlet Fan
The Bean's catalog is a handy tool for finding clothing and household items. The store in Freeport ME reflects items found in the catalog. Unfortunately, I was not overly impressed with the quality of the merchandise; it was only OK; the selection was mediocre. While we did purchase some items, they were not necessary or immediate purchases -- most were gifts.
I find this L.L. Bean really exciting. It is huge and they have everything you're looking for. Around Christmas time there is so much going on to get in the Spirit.
Good place to go if you want to over pay for retail goods
It is amazing! It doesn't feel vast like some department store or Wal-mart because it feels like it has grown slowly over time, expanding consistently as the company did. There are different rooms and areas for different departments and they have employees in each section that are there to answer your questions. They decorate well for the holidays and keep the place clean. Outside they have the giant L.L. Bean boot that you can take pictures by and they even set up a yurt and had free hot chocolate and had live reindeer there. Another thing that is really cool is that this place is open 24 hours which apparently has been a tradition from back in the day because Mr. L.L. himself wanted to be available for all the hunters who were leaving super early in the morning.
I love LL Bean. Every pair of hiking and snow boots I ever bought was from them.
Have not been to L.L. Bean store in a long time. But I love this store.
All you need to #beanoutsider - including a trout pond! Flagship store has all you need & friendly service. Lots of taxidermy animals to check out. Great place to explore whether shopping for something new or to entertain young kids on a rainy day. Great summer concert series. Fun winter outdoor village.
Ok I'm not happy with LL. For many years things were just fine. I recently had to return an item and for the first time ever I was told I needed a receipt. The item had been purchased before they changed their return policy but they would not honor the prior guarantee. Be aware, if you purchase something from LL keep the receipt and know after one year the item can't be returned. The prices have always been too high but the guarantee balanced things. Not now. LL I think has made a big mistake. Time to shop elsewhere.
Confusing to get around and way too expensive. $159 for a knife? $360 for a jacket? Nope
A great shopping experience. Take time to read the wall boasting past catalogue covers over the past few decades. Measure up next to the big boot and take in the two locked horn Moose.
Huge! Every Bean product you could ever want. Great, attentive staff. Very busy during the holiday, but the massive store didn't have long lines or any lapse in service.
Big store but fortunately a lot of signs to help you find what you're looking for. Adequately staffed.
It was okay. Big store. Clean. Lots of bathrooms. Staff was nice
Open 24/7, the flagship store is actually several different buildings, which contain a wide selection of the companies offerings. Tons to look at, and some cool displays, like an indoor fish pond, an aquarium that is interactive for kids, and tons of taxidermied animals.
Great place to shop, loads of parking, friendly staff and a great coffee shop
This is only the single greatest outdoor store in the world.
Lots of helpful employees. Clean and very organized.
One of my favorite stops. Such quality products and services. Only shame is I always want one of everything. Love shopping in the middle of the night.
Love LL Bean. Such a reliable place. Always has the high quality clothing and equipment I'm looking for.
Finally broke down and got a pair of Duck Boots after flirting with the idea for 9 years. The guy who helped me size them and try them on was very very helpful.
This place is so neat to look around. They have everything at the store
The mothership! The newer fishing and hunting wing has everything for the hunter and angler. Clothing is great, as always. Books, camping, and pet stuff seem to be lacking and very unkempt. Go across the green to the home store. Dang! Wonderful.
Always a great time here, they have somethingfor everyone. They're doing a great job staying open during the landemic as well.
Stopped in at 1 A.M. Nice experience. Knowledgeable staff. Great selection. Bean Boots cant be beat!
Always awesome to go there when everything else is closed. Service always excellent, products great.
The service here as always is amazing. It is a pricey store but LL Bean stands behind their products so it is well worth it.
I needed a coat n couldnt find one to fit n afford. My coat n the insert had to be returned due to it falling apart. I was only given $58 towards another coat cuz I couldnt find the receipt n the coat n insert were discontinued late last year. I know it sold for over $200 new so this trip we left very unhappy
Always a pleasure stopping at a LL Bean location and this one is no different. Such a great place to visit every time we come to Maine. Each building on the "campus" has its own specialty - home, clothing, fishing, etc. We never leave empty handed and always look forward to coming back.
Covid-19 restricted but as fun and professional as always!
A must-place to visit when traveling through Freeport.
Always fun at the Main store. My grandson loved seeing the fish and an employee doing some fly fishing in the goldfish pond, as well as the other taxidermy animals!!!
LL Bean puts on many events for the public throughout the year. See the concerts in the summer and we went to the pumpkin display for a Camp Sunshine event where 7000 pumpkins were carved and lit allalong the grounds. Stop inside 24/7/365 to shop for some of the best quality clotjes and outdoor supplies. My kids always have to check out the live fish and taxidermy animals, including 2 interlocked moose who sadly died with their antlers trapped into each other. Many other great places to shop and eat along the street, too.
Always open, great staff no matter when you are there. So much to choose from.
We stop here every time we visit Maine. The store is incredible! We never leave disappointed but crowds around the holidays and leaf peeping season in the fall can get pretty big. Amazingly the store seems to handle them easily, but the checkout lines can get a little long. Get here early to ensure you have the best experience.
Fun place to walk around in a find deals on all things L.L. Bean!
Gotta love LL Bean, quality stuff, just hurts the wallett
Terrible customer service in the firearms section. Sales associate that helped us, Pete, was not knowledgeable at all about completing the purchase for an out of state resident. Kept going out back and coming to ask more questions multiple times. An hour and a half of double triple and quadruple checking after that. Another customer was in and out, paying for his rifle, in 30 min. whereas my friend and I stood around waiting endlessly. Go to Kittery Trading Post instead. Better selection, prices, knowledge and process.
All the staff is super friendly and happy! No matter what department you are looking in. Lots of items to choose from!
A huge place with lots of selections of clothes and anything to do with outdoor activities. As expected, prices are a little high, but quality seems to be good.
We love this place its ll.bean the guarentee the quality amd craftsmanship is hands down. It's the only place I would pay $180 a pair of boots for my wife and know there worth every penny. This place is a proud statement in maine you cannot visit maine and not stop in Freeport and vist the giant boot!
Definitely not the outdoors store it once was. It is now more of a clothing store for the fashion conscious. Is you are looking for camping, hunting and fishing gear go to Cabela's. I never in a million years thought I would say that.
Who doesn't need another fleece and camping gear? They have boats and firearms. They have everything for the outdoors. I stop in Everytime I pass by.
Open 24/7. Clean restrooms. They host cool events throughout the summer. Lots of great clothes and gear to check out.
LL Bean is wonderful! Quality merchandise and friendly helpful employees. We love shopping at LL Bean.
It's L.L. Bean, need I say more? Highly recommended!
Has a huge campus! An ll bean outlet store across the street. Has free summer concerts! Surrounded by a bunch of different outlet stores. Super cool spot
What a great experience. Knowledgeable and friendly people, always open, great products. I've never had a bad visit or experience here.
