REI to open flagship store at Uline Arena

The site of the Beatles’ first U.S. concert is about to become a destination for the District’s climbers, campers and cyclists.

REI, the specialty outdoors retailer, on Wednesday announced plans to open a sprawling store inside Uline Arena in the District’s NoMa neighborhood. The 51,000-square-foot location is scheduled to open in late 2016. It will be the company’s fifth flagship store and its first in the District.
