FREEPORT, Maine (AP) L.L. Bean’s headquarters is staying put in the Maine community where the mail-order company was founded.

The company disclosed at a Town Council meeting this week that it intends to renovate and expand its corporate headquarters in Freeport after reviewing options that included locations in other towns. A company spokeswoman said the review of alternatives was part of the company’s due diligence.

The company’s 1 million-square-foot warehouse and distribution hub is also in Freeport.
