REI hours

Most REI stores are open 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM Saturday, and 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM Sunday (Seattle, Denver, and select flagships open 9:00 AM weekdays too). REI is closed chain-wide on Thanksgiving Day, Black Friday (Opt Outside campaign since 2015), Christmas Day, and Easter Sunday. Customer service: 1-800-426-4840.

REI is a US outdoor-gear consumer cooperative with around 195 retail stores across 41 states, founded in 1938 in Seattle Washington by Lloyd and Mary Anderson and now headquartered in Kent Washington with roughly 24 million member-owners, known for the Co-op Membership ($30 lifetime fee, 10% annual Co-op Member Reward dividend on eligible purchases, Anniversary Sale 20% coupon, 365-day return window), the destination outdoor retailer format covering hiking, camping, climbing, cycling, paddling, snow-sports, and running categories, the Re/Supply used-gear program (formerly the Garage Sale), the REI Adventures guided-trip arm (relaunched in 2026 via Intrepid Travel partnership), and the signature “Opt Outside” Black Friday closure since 2015.

The questions readers actually ask: what time does REI open today, when does the store close, is REI open on Black Friday (no, this is the signature Opt Outside closure), are they open on Thanksgiving, Christmas, or Easter, and Sunday hours.

Two REI specific things worth knowing: most stores run 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM Saturday (Seattle and Denver flagships open 9:00 AM weekdays too), and 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM Sunday with no 24-hour locations; the chain is closed on Thanksgiving Day, Black Friday (the signature Opt Outside campaign since 2015, made permanent in 2022 and now 10-plus years running), Christmas Day, and Easter Sunday chain-wide. Outdoor-retail counterpart Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s takes the opposite Black Friday approach with extended 5:00 AM open and treats Black Friday as the biggest sales day of their year.

Is REI open on Saturday?

Saturday is the busiest day at most REI stores (9:00 AM to 9:00 PM at most stores; some flagships 9-8). Saturday morning sees heavy bike-shop drop-off, ski-rental fittings, and trip-planning consultations; Saturday afternoon shifts to clinic and class participation (snow safety, bike maintenance, kayak intro). Many flagships host weekend Outdoor School clinics and Co-op Adventures travel-information sessions free for members.

Is REI open on Sunday?

Sunday hours run shorter than weekdays at every REI (10:00 AM to 7:00 PM at most stores). Easter Sunday is the one Sunday with chain-wide closure. Sunday afternoon NFL traffic is light at REI compared to Bass Pro and Cabela's; the typical Sunday driver is end-of-weekend gear-pickup and Re/Supply used-gear browsing. Member-only sales Sunday mornings draw early-bird Co-op members.
