Shops & Boutiques

Chain Gang

Our local love runs deep, but occasionally even we can't pass up shopping at certain chain stores. Here are three national acts you'll find us sneaking into.

L.L. Bean

With gear for camping, hiking and other action-packed activities, the outdoor giant attracted thousands to Legacy Village for the November opening of its first Ohio store. Line up for a pair of the iconic Bean Boots ($109). Wear the rugged leather kicks hand-stitched in Maine with cozy socks and skinny jeans all winter long. 25225 Cedar Road, Lyndhurst, 888-534-5808, llbean.com

REI

Adrenaline junkies won't have to rush to Columbus for their fix of outdoor gear. Come this fall, Orange Village's new Pinecrest development will welcome REI. In addition to climbing shoes, bikes and canoes, its yoga selections such as the Jade Harmony Professional Two Tone Yoga Mat ($77.50) will help you chill after a day of playing hard. rei.com

Sur La Table

Turn up the heat on your cooking at Crocker Park's new Sur La Table. Since its November opening, the second Northeast Ohio store has been hosting cooking classes and helping home cooks spice up their dinner parties with gadgets such as the Zyliss Easy Pull Food Processer ($30). 218 Main St., Westlake, 440-250-0463, surlatable.com
