Freeport's centerpiece is world-famous LL
Bean, open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Freeport has become
"The Shopping Mecca of the Northeast." Over 110 factory outlets
quaintly line the streets of the village.
Cole-Haan, Brooks Brothers, and the Gap are a few of the big, name
quality stores in Freeport. Freeport has become a popular desination
for value-conscious shoppers during the winter and spring months
-- especially around Christmas -- and no trip to Maine is complete
without a stop in Freeport and a visit to LL Bean. Freeport is the
#1 destination in Maine.
Shopping at the Old Port
The Old Port is the revitalized waterfront district in Portland.
The area is made up of old warehouses transformed into boutiques,
shops, and cafe-style restaurants. Many of the streets are still
made of the original cobblestone. Portland follows closely behind
San Francisco in the number of restaurants per capita. The Old Port
is also known for its nightlife, and is one of the most popular
night spots in Maine. The Freeport Inn is only 15 minutes from this
dynamic area.
Just 15 minutes from the Freeport Inn, the Maine Mall is the largest
indoor shopping area in Maine, with 140 stores (including Sears,
Filenes, and Macy's) under one roof. Surrounding the Mall are numerous
shopping centers and restaurants.
