L.L.Bean’s newly renovated 390,000-square-foot corporate headquarters houses a product-testing lab
L.L.BEAN RECENTLY celebrated the opening of its newly renovated 390,000-square-foot corporate headquarters in Freeport, Maine. With an open-office concept, the headquarters now houses a product-testing lab – including a “rain room” – for outdoor weather testing of its apparel and goods. Additionally, an on-site “retail lab” is used for recreating and testing the in-store customer experience for its stores.
