Popular Outdoor Retailer's Space Advertised As Available In Milford: Report

MILFORD, CT — Outdoor retailer REI is facing difficulties with its Milford location, which has been listed in marketing brochures as being available for lease, CT Insider reported.

However, REI said it has a lease on the property that's in place until the end of February 2027.

REI officials said they were "disappointed" in the landlord's decision to market the space, according to CT Insider. The company added that it is continuing to negotiate with the landlord and that the brochures "should not be viewed as the co-op’s intent to depart the shopping center."

REI opened the 1645 Boston Post Road store in 2016. There are two other locations in the state in Norwalk and West Hartford.

REI sells gear and apparel for outdoor pursuits, including hiking, cycling, fitness, camping, snow sports, traveling, climbing, kayaking, canoeing, bird watching, and more.

The 56,692-square-foot shopping plaza where the store is located was put on the market last spring. The center also includes a Jersey Mike's, Sleep Number, Salons by JC, and Dave's Hot Chicken.
