户外零售商REI（Recreational Equipment, Inc.）据报道计划于2026年初关闭其在美国东北部地区的三个门店，包括新泽西州的Paramus、波士顿以及纽约SoHo旗舰店。REI表示，此举是为了适应市场和客户需求的变化，以实现合作社的长期成功。尽管面临部分门店关闭，REI今年仍在其他地区开设了六家新店。此次调整与另一家户外零售商Orvis关闭多家门店以缩减零售业务的策略相似，也反映了户外零售行业普遍面临的挑战。去年，REI已裁员357人，并预计2024年市场环境将持续严峻。

📉 户外零售行业面临普遍挑战：REI的门店关闭计划与Orvis公司关闭多家门店的策略类似，反映了整个户外零售行业正经历一段艰难时期，市场环境预计将持续严峻。

💼 REI曾进行裁员并调整战略：此次门店关闭并非孤例，REI去年已裁员357人。公司前CEO曾表示，户外零售业已连续四个季度下滑，且趋势在恶化，2024年预计将充满挑战。

Outdoor retailer Recreational Equipment, Inc. (REI) reportedly plans to close three of its U.S. stores next year.

The closures will affect REI locations across the Northeast, including Paramus, New Jersey, during the first three months of 2026, as well as in Boston and its flagship SoHo locaftion in New York City toward the end of that year, USA Today reported.

"We are deeply grateful to our teams, our members and customers, and the stores’ communities for their support over the years," REI said in a statement to USA TODAY. "As markets and customer needs evolve, we must adapt to position the co-op for long-term success. We will continue serving members and customers at these locations until closing, and at our other stores across the New York and Boston regions."

Despite the upcoming closures, the retailer has continued to expand in other areas. REI has opened six new stores this year, including in Durango, Colorado; Elk Grove, California; and Amherst, New York, according to the REI website.

The announcement comes as another longtime outdoor retailer, the Orvis Company, recently announced plans to close more than two dozen stores by 2026 as part of a broader effort to shrink its retail footprint and streamline operations in response to rising tariffs.

Orvis President Simon Perkins said in a statement that 31 stores and five outlets will shutter as the company enters a "new chapter" aimed at a "more focused retail store portfolio" and leveraging its retail partners that sell its products.

Last year, REI laid off 357 employees, according to a message shared with employees at the time by former CEO Eric Artz, who retired in March.

"Outdoor specialty retail has experienced four quarters of decline—and that trend has been worsening," Artz said in January of last year. "While we were able to outperform this trend for much of the last year, it caught up to us in Q4 and we now expect conditions to remain very challenging throughout 2024."
