L.L. Bean enthusiasts on the South Shore can now pick up their parkas or buy a boatload of boots at the store’s newest location in Hanover.

L.L. Bean’s Hanover store, located in Hanover Crossing, officially opened to the public on Friday, Sept. 8, making it the brand’s 10th store in Massachusetts and 57th location overall.

The company had been eyeing the Hanover community for more than five years, and the opening came as L.L. Bean celebrates its 111th year in business.

“For over a century, we’ve been dedicated to a single purpose, which is to inspire and enable people to enjoy the restorative power of the outdoors,” L.L.Bean Vice President of Stores and Retail Operations Corey Bouyea said at the Hanover location on Thursday. “We’re really excited to bring that here at Hanover.”

In the same vein as giving back to the community, L.L. Bean made a $10,000 donation to the Boys & Girls Club of Marshfield. The organization provides summer programming focused on getting Hanover youth outside while “fostering a sense of belonging for the community,” Bouyea said.

Jim Bunnell, CEO of the Boys & Girls Club of Marshfield, said L.L. Bean’s donation is especially important with helping children who require financial support.

“We served over 18 kids just in our summer camp from the town of Hanover, and 30% of these kids come and are in need for financial assistance,” Bunnell said. “So it’s critical that organizations like L.L. Bean and other community organizations value the work that we do.”

Shoppers can enter to win a $500 L.L. Bean gift card if they visit the 15,000-square-foot store from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday or Saturday. There are other in-store giveaways and photo opportunities with L.L. Bean’s legendary Bootmobile.

L.L. Bean also plans on opening another location in Peabody on Oct. 6. The company is hiring full-time and part-time positions at the new locations. Those interested in applying can do so online.

HANOVER, Mass — A South Shore medical office complex was forced to evacuate and postpone all in-person appointments after the building was deemed unsafe.

Hanover Building Commissioner Joe Stack told Boston 25 News that the revelation was made last Wednesday.

He said crews working on the construction of a new pool in the basement at the Hanover Wellness Center found significant corrosion on multiple steel columns.

According to Stack, those columns hold up the support beams for the second floor of a building that’s located at 20 East Street off of Route 53.

A structural engineer inspected the critical support columns in question on Thursday.

More than a dozen offices and small businesses that operate out of the complex were evacuated later that day, and the building’s occupancy permit was revoked.

“It could take a matter of days or a couple of weeks,” explained Stack. “It all depends on the availability of what we need to get these repairs done and the engineers involved.”

Stack said as many as 400 people come and go from the building every day.

It’s not only home to array of medical offices but also a daycare.

“The fact that we have a daycare in the front corner that has 40 children on a daily basis, that certainly added weight to our decision,” said Stack. “But the whole decision was based on life safety.”

Doctors officers and other businesses are entering a new week not knowing when they’ll be able to return.

Stack said satisfactory reports from the engineer will be a critical step in resuming operations there.

“This has nothing to do with the construction of the pool,” added Stack. “I’m actually glad they were doing it because this would have went unnoticed.”

The business whose contractor is credited with uncovering the hidden danger in the basement offers swim classes at several other locations.

An email from Powers Aquatics that went out to families explained that its contractors discovered the corrosion while taking down a wall that needed to be replaced.

It also shares more information about the current uncertainty.

As for Powers Aquatics, our construction has stopped and we have no idea when it will start back up/if it will be able to start back up. There is a temporary plan in place to secure these columns which will allow the rest of the building to open back up, the timeline of that is unknown to me, but the area occupied by Powers Aquatics will have to remain closed until there is a permanent fix in place.

This has been such a hard week for my husband, Jim, and I. We have not even told our children yet as there are still so many unanswered questions for us. My family has worked SO hard at East St and our kids have really been a huge part in all of this; they have planned and helped execute all of the amazing things we had set up for all our kiddos.

It breaks my heart to be writing this email, as this has been a dream of mine, and we have poured every ounce of our lives, souls and savings into this space for the last eight months. We have dealt with so many obstacles along the way and while we have pulled through each and every time this is simply out of our control. Powers Aquatics will be moving forward with the assumption that we will not be at East St for the foreseeable future.

Boston 25 News reached out to the owner of the building and have not yet heard back.

Hanover, MA Jay Nuss Realty Group, LLC handled the sale of the Squires Restaurant, a landmark on Rte. 53 for 40 years.

“We are pleased to have been able to find a buyer for Paul and Cindy Squires,” said Nuss. “They are a great family and ran a successful business for many years. During the time we had the restaurant listed, we received many calls from local residents who were practically in tears over the restaurant closing, which is quite a testimony to how revered Paul Squires was in town and the manner in which he ran the restaurant.”

Paul Squires said, “Jay and his group were superb all the way through this process. We are grateful for their help.”

Nuss said, “We wish the Squires family the best of luck in what’s next for them, and also wish the new owners much success as they open here in Hanover.”

HANOVER – A medical building remains closed after the discovery of an unsafe structural issue last week that led to the people inside being evacuated and the building’s occupancy permit revoked.

Construction crews at the Hanover Wellness Center at 20 East St. were working on building a new pool for Powers Aquatics, one of the building’s tenants, Wednesday, July 24, when they discovered several deteriorating columns that were used to aid support beams for the floor above the pool.

Building Commissioner Joseph Stack said the contractor contacted Stack's office right away, and he, in turn, called the building's owner to tell them they needed to hire a structural engineer.

“They hired one right away,” Stack said.

That engineer deemed the 34-year-old building unsafe on July 27, at which point the permit was revoked until the issues are fixed.

Stack said he couldn't predict the “if, what and when” of how long it might have taken for the corroded columns to cause damage to the building and injuries to its occupants, which includes a daycare, medical offices and other wellness-related businesses.

What is in the Hanover Wellness Center

Stack estimated somewhere between 250 and 300 people use the building each day.

“The columns were severely deteriorated and had been encased in concrete,” he said, which means the damage would not have been discovered in time if the construction work wasn’t going on.

The businesses in the building are: Hanover Podiatry: Dr. Michael Mitry; Stuart A. Liss, DMD, General/Cosmetic Dentistry; Donnelly Orthodontics: Jeff E. Donnelly; Anderson Physical Therapy; Hearing Healthcare Professionals; Wuotila Chiropractic; Rafay S. Mehdi, MD: Primary and Preventive Care, Inc; Hanover Family Eye Care; ALDA Aesthetics; South Shore Primary & Urgent Care (after hours and concierge medicine clinic); Home Helpers of South Shore; ConnectAbilities Inclusive Studio of the Arts; and SweetPeas Children's Center.

There were not any updates on the building as of Monday.

How will the East Street building be repaired?

The short-term plans would involve shoring up the columns and isolating the risk so the rest of the building could be reoccupied as the problem is fully fixed.

Stack said the timeline for when that happens depends on the engineering report and how quickly remediation efforts can get underway.

He credited the contractor for calling right away and possibly averting a disaster down the road at the site.

“They performed a large public service here,” he said.
