As part of its national retail growth plan, L.L.Bean decided to open a store at Hilldale due to the proximity of abundant natural resources and opportunities for outdoor activities, as well as a population that enjoys engaging in outdoor pursuits. The new store will allow the people of Madison and beyond to experience first-hand everything the legendary outdoor retailer offers: quality merchandise, exemplary customer service, a welcoming shopping environment and a commitment to always do what’s right by its customers, employees, the environment and the community.

“Wisconsin is as passionate about the outdoors as we are in Maine,” said Greg Elder, Vice President of Stores at L.L.Bean. “We’re excited to bring that outdoor spirit to Hilldale, and get to know the Madison community.”

“We are thrilled to have L.L.Bean join the Hilldale family," said Nanci Horn, General Manager of Hilldale. "As a leader and innovator in outdoor, lifestyle retail, L.L.Bean is the perfect addition to our center, opening just in time for summer outdoor activities.”

This will be L.L.Bean’s second retail store in Wisconsin, and its 37th retail store outside of Maine. L.L.Bean opened its Brookfield retail store last summer. The new store will employ approximately 30 people.
