L.L. Bean Store Is About To Open In Kingston, New York

I refer to the group of us who have been patiently waiting for the new L.L. Bean store to open as Bean Watchers. I have had my eye on the store location since it was first hinted that the Hudson Valley would be getting its very own L.L. Bean store.

So here we are just days away from the opening and the excitement is still building. There were some anxious moments earlier this week when it was reported that the soon-to-be L.L. Bean store had caught on fire. Luckily it is not interfering with the Grand opening still set for May 10th, 2024

Despite the fire which has been said to have caused very little damage, the new L.L. Bean is on track to be open officially on May 10th, 2024. The long-awaited opportunity to shop in person at the store will be satisfied starting at 9 AM on Friday, May 10th.

L.L. Bean Helps Local Causes in Kingston New York Community

In addition to opening the store, L.L. Bean is also giving back to the community. They are partnering with The YMCA of Kingston and Uster County to offer programs that will in turn encourage people to be part of the YMCA and get out to enjoy what the HUdosn Valley has to do. L.L. Bean is also asking for a donation for People's Place.

Customers can help by bringing non-perishable food items to the open house that will be donated to People's Place which is a food pantry, a thrift store, and a community space that has been assisting the community in Kingston since 1972.
