Overview
- Orvis will shutter 31 stores and five outlets early next year, leaving 33 stores and two outlets operating in the United States.
- Company leaders attribute the downsizing to higher costs from tariffs, describing the current tariff environment as unprecedented.
- The retailer will emphasize wholesale and digital commerce, leaning on more than 550 independent dealers plus national partners such as Bass Pro Shops, Cabela’s, and Sportsman’s Warehouse.
- Specific store locations slated to close have not been published, with additional details expected closer to the shutdowns.
- Orvis will keep its direct-to-consumer site and Orvis Adventures, prioritize core technical categories and dog products, phase out select lifestyle lines, and offer “Last Release” and closing-store discounts.
