Co-op

REI Co-op is opening its first location in the state of Oklahoma, bringing a wide assortment of quality gear and expertise for the region’s most popular activities to Oklahoma City in fall 2019. The new 23,000 square-foot store will be located at the Belle Isle Station shopping center, owned and operated by Kite Realty Group. 

REI Co-op is investing $1 million in the Outdoor Foundation, the charitable arm of Outdoor Industry Association, to support the Thrive Outside program, designed to help young people’s social, emotional and academic development through the outdoors.

Outdoor co-op REI will open its new store in Kalispell, Montana on Nov. 9 at the Spring Prairie Commons shopping center on Nov. 9. Known as the gateway to Glacier National Park, REI Kalispell will carry top quality gear for the region’s most popular outdoor activities, including hiking, mountain biking, and a specialty ski and snowboard shop.

REI Co-op will officially open its new location in Grand Junction, Colorado on Nov. 2 at 925 Independent Avenue. The store opened for business at the new location in February and just completed an extensive remodel. 

As part of its 80-year commitment to sustainability, REI Co-op is hosting used gear swaps in 11 stores across the country on Oct. 27. REI members are invited to bring their gently used items to swap with other people who love the outdoors. Last year, REI hosted used gear swaps in six locations, and is expanding the effort to include more markets this year.

To celebrate the release of HBO’s new, original comedy series CAMPING, starring Jennifer Garner, the premium network is partnering with specialty outdoor retailer REI Co-op to launch a nationwide Instagram contest, #CampingHBOContest, and host advance screening parties at three REI flagship stores across the country.
