LL Bean to lay off up to 75 workers

The layoffs will impact approximately two to three percent of L.L. Bean's Maine-based staff, according to a company spokesperson.

FREEPORT, Maine — The Freeport-based company L.L. Bean has announced another round of layoffs this year

In a statement shared Monday with NEWS CENTER Maine, a company spokesperson said the layoffs will impact between 50 and 75 people, which is two to three percent of the company's Maine-based staff. 

The company cites a "fluctuating retail landscape" and desire to "enable long-term growth" as reasons for the layoffs. 

Impacted employees will be offered severance packages and outplacement services, according to the company spokesperson. Some departures will be voluntary. 

The second round of layoffs comes months after the company announced layoffs for customer service staff and a reduction in call center hours in April.
