Outdoor clothing manufacturer and lifestyle outfitter Patagonia finally announced what we knew all along: plans to open its second Chicago retail store on Walton. The new store will open for business in late November or early-mid December.

The 1957 building on Walton at Rush boasts a double stacked wall of windows that showcase the store and offer exceptional natural lighting to align with the store¹s environmentally friendly operations and highlight its outdoor apparel.

At its newest Chicago location, Patagonia will offer a wide selection of its own line of technical garmentsincluding the new line for skiing and snowboarding, casual wear, footwear and children¹s apparel. Patagonia focuses on quality, durability and functionality in its product offerings and demands the same level of reliability from its suppliers.

Patagonia is well-known for its progressive outlook on recycling, including the first of its kind Common Threads garment recycling program accepting worn-out fleece, organiccotton and Capilene baselayers.

Additionally, if you know a good-hearted person that cares about community activity and has naturalist tendencies, the Patagonia Magnificent Mile store is currently accepting applications for all positions.
