Legendary mail order tackle retailer Orvis has announced it will “shed” 8% of its workforce, close a number of retail stores and discontinue it’s catalog. According to sources, Orvis President Simon Perkins said “Orvis is in a period of business evolution that requires us to think differently. Over the course of our 170-year history, the company has experienced similar cycles, but today’s challenges are new and they require us to be bold in order to continue sharing stories, experiences and products that inspire our customers well into the future.”
