Outdoor retailer Orvis<\/a> is closing 36 locations throughout the U.S. by early 2026. This accounts for roughly half of the company\u2019s stores. <\/p>\n President Simon Perkins, the third-generation family owner, cited new tariffs imposed by the Trump administration in a statement about the store closures, according to CoStar<\/a>, a commercial real estate company.<\/p>\n \u201cLike many in retail, Orvis\u2019 business model faced a sizeable shift with the introduction of an unprecedented tariff landscape,\u201d Perkins said. <\/p>\n \u201cFor more than a century-and-a-half, we\u2019ve been committed to being leaders in our space for customers and partners…To ensure a durable brand and model for decades to come, we are focusing on our core strengths and making the difficult but necessary decision to rescale the business by tightening our assortment and reducing our corporate store footprint,\u201d Perkins said. <\/p>\n The company, founded in 1856, currently operates 70 retail locations nationwide, according to USA Today<\/a>. <\/p>\n The chain originally began as a fly-fishing equipment store before expanding into sportswear, fine gifts, home furnishings, luggage and travel accessories, according<\/a> to its website.<\/p>\n The announcement follows a tough year for Orvis, VTDigger<\/a> reported. <\/p>\n Last October, the Vermont-based company announced it was letting go of 112 people and discontinuing its catalog. Then in June, citing tariffs, it announced another 50 layoffs, according to VT Digger. <\/p>\n Orvis currently has approximately 1,500 U.S. employees. It\u2019s unclear how many will be affected. <\/p>\n The list of store closings has not been released. <\/p>\n The company has at least one location in New Jersey, according to its website.<\/p>\n Related coverage:<\/b><\/p>\n Popular outdoor retailer to close N.J. store, 2 others amid declining sales<\/a><\/p>\n Food hall restaurant chain to open 3 new locations in N.J.
