Orvis to Close 36 Locations in 2026, Citing an Unprecedented Tariff Landscape

The company blames shifting tariff costs for a retrenchment as it reorients around core angling and upland offerings.

Overview

  • Orvis confirmed plans to shutter 31 corporate stores and five outlets next year as part of a broad restructuring.
  • The retailer has not released a list of affected locations or disclosed how many employees will be impacted.
  • President Simon Perkins said tariffs materially altered the company’s business model, prompting the downsizing.
  • The brand will phase out some older products and redirect investment to gear, apparel, outdoor experiences, and conservation.
  • Shoppers can expect closeout events, including discounts on “Last Release” styles and substantial savings at closing stores, while the company continues to sell through more than 550 independent dealers.
