A picturesque town just two and a half hours from Boston, Freeport is a bargain hunter's paradise. Formerly a town relying on shoe factories, the retail boom (which began in 1982 with Dansk Factory Outlet) has brought a new prosperity to a town where the factories have long been silent.
The boom has brought to Freeport some of the biggest names in retail and outlet stores as well as some of the most charming small shops. The retail expansion began with tasteful renovations near the L.L. Bean Retail Store and has spread throughout the town.
