Recreational Equipment Inc (REI) is to open a new store in Oxnard, California in the autumn of 2009.

The 28,000 sq. ft., two-story store will offer gear and apparel for outdoor activities including camping, climbing, cycling, fitness, hiking, paddling, snow sports and travel. It will also feature a bike shop for quick assemblies or repairs, a seasonal gear rental department and a community room that REI and its non-profit partners can use for classes, presentations and events.

“REI is committed to helping more people discover the joys of outdoor recreation, and ensuring they have the right gear, apparel and information for their experiences,” said Greg Mellinger, REI retail director for Southern California.
