L.L.Bean is opening up its newest location at the CoolSprings Galleria Mall this week, inviting enthusiasts to come see the store. 

This is the group's first Tennessee store. 

“For generations, Tennesseans have shopped with L.L.Bean through our catalog and online channels, and we’re excited to finally bring the brand experience to life in Franklin,” said Kenon Mitchell, District Manager at L.L.Bean. “With its strong outdoor culture and growing community, Franklin is a natural home for L.L.Bean. We look forward to deepening our connection with longtime customers while introducing the brand to new audiences through our legendary service, quality products and outdoor expertise.”
