Rei

REI (Recreational Equipment, Inc.) is a specialty outdoor retailer that provides gear and apparel for activities such as camping, hiking, climbing, cycling, and paddling. The company operates on a co-op model, meaning it is owned by its members who pay a one-time fee to join and receive dividends on their purchases. Founded in 1938 by Lloyd and Mary Anderson in Seattle, REI has grown to become one of the largest consumer cooperatives in the United States, emphasizing sustainability, community engagement, and a commitment to the environment. They make money through retail sales, membership fees, and offering outdoor adventure classes and trips.
