Will you go out with us?

One year ago we did something different on Black Friday—we closed the co-op’s doors and invited the nation to join us outside. And 1,408,117 of you did just that. You chose to skip the stampedes and celebrate life outdoors instead. This year we’re closing again and our goal is for millions more to join us in our parks, on the trails, in the mountains and on the water. But we need your help to make it happen. So consider this your invitation. On November 25th, REI will opt outside. Will you go out with us? #OptOutside
