You're in Maine- you have to! there are actually SEVERAL LL Bean buildings up in Freeport, so its much bigger than you think it will be. Around the store there are lots of other outlet stores, and be sure and checkout the off-site LL Bean Outlet store which has better deals. Its located across Main Street near the Old Navy store.
