JACKSON HOLE, Wyo. — REI Co-op announced it is just about ready to open its first store in the state of Wyoming right here in Jackson.
Almost a year ago to the day when the adventure travel outfitter announced plans to move into the space formerly occupied by Lucky’s Market, REI will launch a grand opening celebration. Friday, November 5 and lasting all weekend, REI will mark the occasion with morning giveaways and afternoon socials with vendor groups and music.
“We are thrilled to join the community and support the active lifestyles of local residents and visitors as they play and explore in the region,” said Jason Priest, REI Jackson Hole store manager. “Whether trying a new activity or heading out on a familiar trail to bike, hike, or ski, we aspire to be at the center of people’s outdoor lives for products and expertise.”
Many locals have already noticed the bright new mural on the side of the building. That’s the work of local artist Haley Badenhop, commissioned by REI to jazz up the corrugated steel exterior.
Store hours:
Monday – Friday: 9am – 8pm, Saturday: 9am – 7pm, Sunday: 10am – 6pm.
