The deal was brokered by Mark Malone of Malone Commercial Brokers, representing the tenant, as well as Alex Yebba of Yebba Realty Ventures, who represented the landlord, Denney Block Freeport LLC. The space is in a two-story brick building on what's known as the Denney Block.

The footwear retailer Sperry is in the other street-level retail space. In years past, the space has been a J.Jill store and an Anne Klein Outlet. It is across the street from the L.L.Bean flagship campus and opposite the retailer's bike-and-boat store, as well as a Starbucks location.

The store also shares a retail stretch with Polo Ralph Lauren, Vineyard Vines, Vermont Flannel, Levi's and other national brands.
