REI Store Coming To Loveland, Colorado, In 2024

REI has announced that its 10th Colorado location will open in Loveland in the summer of 2024. In a press release regarding the new location , Janet Hopkins, who is the REI regional director for the Rockies/Great Plains region said:

REI’s presence in Colorado began in 1983 with our first store in Denver. Loveland will be our tenth location in the state. We look forward to serving the community and visitors who come to enjoy Rocky Mountain National Park, Long View Trail, 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.

Loveland's new REI store will be located at the Marketplace at Centerra and will be a whopping 23,000 square feet. REI says they currently have 61,000 REI Co-op Members in the Loveland Area, with over one million in the entire state, so the demand was clearly there for this new location.
