Did You Know?

REI started in 1938 by Lloyd and Mary Anderson in Seattle, Washington. They brought in an Akadem Pickel ice axe from Austria which they can use as part of a climbing course. They set up a co-operative to work with other outdoor enthusiasts in the club to get good quality and affordable climbing gear. On June of 1938, a Seattle attorney helped five mountaineers and each paid a dollar to join Recreational Equipment Cooperative. As Lloyd moved to a new space on Pike Street, he was able to hire Jim Whittaker, on July of 1955, proving the move to be a success. In 1956, Recreational Equipment Cooperative was incorporated.
