Refocus, closing stores. https://vtdigger.org/2025/10/02/orvis-t ... arly-2026/
I saw that. Orvis stores have always suffered, at least those around here. I can think of a bunch that were "company stores" that went under. Short Hills Mall is one that comes quickly to mind.

There was one off RT 73 in Marlton along with a large LL Bean. Orvis closed maybe 5 years ago, Bean is still there.

My kind is a dying breed. Orvis made its money from fly fishing and bird hunting. There are so few who still bird hunt over good dogs with nice gear these days. Fly fishing is holding its own, but new anglers don't care about stodgy brands like Orvis. It's whatever the best deal is on the internet.
