LOVELAND, Colo. — Outdoor retailer REI Co-op has announced it plans to open a store in Loveland this summer.
REI said it will open a 23,000-square-foot store at The Marketplace at Centerra near U.S. Highway 34 and Interstate 25.
REI said its Loveland store will have a full-service bike and ski shop, as well as camping, cycling, running, fitness, hiking, paddling and climbing supplies. The location will be REI's tenth location in Colorado.
The company expects to hire approximately 40 employees for the new Loveland store. Interested candidates can apply online at REI.jobs.
"REI’s presence in Colorado began in 1983 with our first store in Denver. Loveland will be our tenth location in the state," said Janet Hopkins, REI regional director for the Rockies/Great Plains region.
"We look forward to serving the community and visitors who come to enjoy Rocky Mountain National Park, Long View Trail and the Colorado Front Range Trail, and endless other outdoor opportunities. REI will also seek partnerships with local outdoor nonprofits to support their efforts in protecting natural places and welcoming more people outside."
