The new stores will feature the top brands in outdoor gear and apparel for camping, climbing, cycling, fitness, hiking, travel and paddling. The stores will also house a bike shop that will assemble and repair bicycles.
 
The Rochester store, which will be the first of the two stores to open, will be located at CityGate in the city’s university and hospital district. The 27,000-square-foot store will carry gear for snow and water sports in addition to its full product assortment. The store is slated to open in the fall of 2016.

The second store in Winter Park, FL will open at Winter Park Village in the spring of 2017. The 25,000-square-foot location will be the second store from the brand to open in Florida joining REI Jacksonville that opened in 2013.
 
With the store openings, the outdoor goods retailer will expand its investments in local nonprofit partners to make outdoor places more accessible to communities. In 2015, REI invested $20,000 in four nonprofit partners in Florida and invested a total of $5.9 million in over 300 nonprofits last year.
