Roughly three years after leaving Johnson County, an outdoor retailer is heading back — this time to a growing Overland Park development.
Maine-based L.L. Bean has a new store in the works at Overland Park’s Bluhawk development.
L.L. Bean is coming to an area around US-69 and 159th Street
- The company is opening a new store at the Bluhawk shopping center next year, as part of the shopping center’s latest phase of retail development.
- There, it would join a growing number of new additions to the shopping center, such as healthy eatery Billie’s Grocery and gelato shop Amorino.
- According to a release, L.L. Bean is targeting a summer 2027 opening for the new Bluhawk store.
L.L. Bean is an outdoor apparel and equipment retailer
- The company offers a variety of clothing items for men, women and kids, from jackets and vests to shorts and swimwear.
- In addition to clothing, L.L. Bean also sells outdoor accessories and equipment for activities like fishing, hiking and hunting.
- The company also offers footwear, luggage and even some home decor items like bedding and patio furniture.
- L.L. Bean may be best known for its iconic “Bean boot,” or duck boot, a water-resistant outdoor boot made from leather and rubber.
L.L. Bean is making a return to Johnson County
- The Maine-based company previously had a store at the Town Center Crossing shopping center in Leawood, which closed in 2024.
- At the time of its closure, L.L. Bean had been at the shopping center for nearly a decade.
- Its former space at Town Center Crossing is now home to women’s clothing store Aritizia.
