LL Bean hopes to triple the number of stores by 2020. They hope to have 100 stores by then.

How many people outside of New England will wander in there expecting to buy coffee?   ???

Probably since they have one at the similar development Evergreen Walk in South Windsor. If not Blue Back then at WestFarms. Or maybe (and I know this is a long shot) Corbin's Corner.

Somewhere in West Hartford, maybe they can take a part of Sears, just a thought.

Maybe their next expansion - coffee shops inside the stores? :)

I don't know. I thought I read in The Hartford Courant Sears was already going to sublease part of their West Hartford store to the big & tall chain Casual Male XL.

Sears owns that spot in Corbin's Corner. Besides, it's a little low-brow for Westfarms.
