I'm not concerned. Obviously, they're closing the Tysons store because of a disagreement with the landlord. They're not closing it because NoVa is no longer a viable market. They'll reopen elsewhere in the area -- and likely sooner rather than later.

I'm from New England and have had L.L. Bean products my entire life. I agree that their product lines and return policies are not as great as they once were, but I still find them better than many alternatives.

Same. The return policy too. Bye. Time for an indoor skate park.

So where have you found better quality?

Me neither, and the stuff is crap. Used to be good.

Agree on the quality, DH bought a flannel that’s so mangy. What’s the point of an ugly plaid if it isn’t at least soft and cozy? They’ve been running on past impressions for years now.

The only thing I buy from them is backpacks for my kids once every 5 years. NBD.

I'd rather just order from the website than go to Tysons. They do have a store at Pike and Rose in MoCo.

Also not concerned about one crazy family member, she doesn't seem to have much involvement with the company.

Maybe something more stylish will take the space

My DH has been saying the same and I was skeptical but you should google Linda Bean. She is not so great and she is way way involved in Freeport and nearby towns.

I just looked her up and found this article if anyone is interested. I’m still ok buying from them.

LL Bean was the only reason I ever went to Tysons. I will miss the store, but not Tysons.

I honestly thought it was already closed. They need to redevelop the malls.

I’m five miles away and generally avoid Tysons at all costs.

+1. L.L. Bean was the only draw sufficient to get me to brave that awful area and mall. I'm really sorry it's going, though it'd be great if they do find another NoVA location somewhere else. Thanks for the heads-up, OP.

NOOooOOOooo

Oh please. One family member who’s not even involved with the business.

But, hey, everything has to be political, right?
