REI Co-op Announces Permanent Commitment to Closing Stores on Black Friday

Since 2015, REI, an SGP-certified facility and brand patron, closed its doors on Black Friday-inviting employees and members to spend time outside rather than shopping. Over the years, #OptOutside evolved from a response against consumerism to a movement advocating for causes important to the co-op, including environmental welfare, inclusivity in the outdoor industry and responsible recreation.

From 2022 on, all stores, distribution centers, activity centers, call centers and headquarters will close every Black Friday. Customers can still place an order on REI.com but order processing will not begin until the following day. Read more
