Last week's trivia answer

Founded in 1912, I'm based in Maine, where more than 400 of my (often outdoorsy) products are manufactured. I rake in about $1.5 billion each year and process some 50,000 orders per day, shipping more than 15 million packages annually. (I've shipped more than 200,000 on a single day.) I'm known for my catalogs, but I've been opening stores around the country lately, some internationally. My flagship store is open 24 hours a day, 365 days per year, and draws 3 million people yearly. You can't buy stock in me, because I'm a private company. Who am I?
