auntie m sent this card from freeport, maine home to l.l. bean, maker of the world famous "bean boot".

it's surprising to see they now have 9 stores in japan. of all the growth markets for the outdoor equipment and clothing retailer, japan would have probably ranked last on my list.

	snowdeal says: i can say with some certainty that odin will see the inside of the flagship store sooner rather than later. of course being from down east we've been freeport, but usually at much more reasonable hours :-) Posted 31 months ago. ( permalink )
	dave_graham says: "some certainty" you say? could the move be to more flannel-appropriate states like ME?! that would mean Surfactant really does have a chance at going big. Posted 31 months ago. ( permalink )
	snowdeal says: dave graham: ""some certainty" you say?" "some certainty" in that i still have a lot of relatives in the region and as the postcard alludes, aunti m is getting married soon which will give us a perfect excuse to visit :-) Posted 31 months ago. ( permalink )
