FWIW, I do a lot of shopping at the LL Bean *Outlet* in Freeport. Not the main store, but the outlet - it's a little out of the way.

Near as I can tell, it's mostly last season's, or last year's, inventory. I don't care, I'll be wearing it for more than one year. :-) And the prices are a fraction of retail.

No atmosphere in the retail outlet, though. Just racks and bins of stuff to paw through. The Main Store is a lot more fun.

If there is one thing I could not care less about is atmosphere when I’m shopping.

I’m a quick,in and out shopper—I have detested it my entire life.

My late Mom LOVED shopping. I’m sure I was a great disappointment to her. :-)
