While outdoors clothing store L.L. Bean has been running into some financial troubles south of the border (reducing its workforce by 200 full and part-time workers as well as closing a call centre in Lewiston) they have just announced that they will be opening three additional stores in Canada by the end of 2020.

The positive response to our first store opening accelerated our expansion plan from two stores to three stores this year, despite the economic downturn. We’re extremely grateful to our Canadian customers for welcoming us, and the continued success really speaks to the strength of the brand, the relevance of our iconic products and the kinship we share in the inherent love and care for the outdoors.
— Greg Elder, Vice President of Retail and International for L.L.Bean

L.L. Bean first entered the Canadian market in August of 2019 with success…

The success of L.L.Bean in Oakville has been encouraging, and the new stores across Ontario will widen the reach to our loyal Canadian customer base. We’re excited to work with L.L.Bean to expand the iconic brand in Canada and to encourage outdoor activities with family and friends.
— Howie Kastner, President of Jaytex Group

There is now a store also in Barrie at the Georgian Mall, and stores will be opening at the Ottawa Train Yards, and Toronto’s Shops at Don Mills.

We’re extremely mindful of how and where we grow. We’re excited to be able to offer our Canadian neighbours more options in more locations around the country this year, and to provide them the outdoor essentials they need to enjoy the many restorative benefits of being outside. We look forward to building on that relationship with our Canadian customers for years to come.
— Stephen Smith, President and CEO of L.L.Bean
