AUSTIN (Austin Business Journal) — Austin-based athleisure outfitter Outdoor Voices Inc. will be closing all of its stores on March 17, a local store employee confirmed.
Customers flocked to the retailer's South Congress store on March 13, where items were discounted 50% and a line to get in wrapped around the building. A report by The New York Times points to executive turnover and a declining valuation in recent years.
Outdoor Voices, which moved its headquarters to Austin in 2017 from New York, intends to continue with its online operations after closing its physical stores, the employee said. It's known for women's "athleisure" apparel like leggings, shorts and sports bras. It also sells accessories and men's clothing.
