Outdoor recreation retailer REI plans to shutter its downtown Portland, Oregon, store over crime issues.
"The safety of our employees, members and customers is always our No. 1 priority," spokesperson Megan Behrbaum said. "Last year, REI Portland had its highest number of break-ins and thefts in two decades, despite our actions and investment to provide extra security."
The store is slated to close when the company's lease expires in February 2024.
