Jackson Jambalaya

Barbours a-plenty at Kinkade's!

Great store for the few of us that fly fish. Could go and cast different fly rods outside of store. When I heard they were closing half their stores I knew figured ours would be one.

I’m confused; the letter says customers can be served in the future at orvis.com or “at our dealers in the Ridgeland area”, but that’s the store that’s closing.

I liked the Orvis store, have been in there multiple times, however, I don't think it had enough traffic to keep it open. As much as they want to blame tariffs, I'm willing to bet that online shopping is the major reason.

We loved the store, but kinda felt lately on a few items, the quality didn't match the price. Still sad to see it go.

They are closing half of their 75 stores.

Foolish to open an Orvis in Mississippi to begin with.

I literally just discovered this sport through a fellow traveller and now this store is closing! Is there to be nothing left for the White man to enjoy?

At a North Alabama mercantile I saw a $200 Orvis duffle with a "Made in China" tag. You can't charge boutique prices, at least most men, won't pay, for glorified counterfeit quality. I recently stepped into the Monkey at Rennaissance, most is polyester=plastic and made in the far east but they're asking a premium price. I will gladly shell out a few hundred for an heirloom quality American made item and I am far from rich but believe in value and quality No loss for me here.

Trumped

They call it the Jackson store even though it’s in Ridgeland. Bass Pro Shops in Pearl is an authorized dealer.

I bet it was because of crime

If the mayor and the city council don’t take crime more seriously more business will close of leave

@336 I think they mean other retailers that carry orvis stuff

@3:52pm why? Everyone I know wears Barbour and Orvis-style clothing. No need to belittle MS.

Closing half of their stores nationwide - all thanks to the tarrifs. Problem is, once the Supreme Court gets through with the tarriff lawsuit, they will all be reversed because the President (no President) has the authority to initiate them as he did. But by the time that ruling comes down next spring, the damage will have been done to stores big and small.

You'll be disappointed if you go looking for Orvis stuff at Bass Pro. That place has a lot of nothing.

You have no idea where this store is, do you?

Yeah...Orvis didn't realize that they were going to have a hard time pushing $200 khakis to people who know they can get the same quality for $60-$70. Sorry, Orvis. There just aren't enough people who are both rich AND stupid in central MS.

The letter says they are closing their Jackson store.

Bidened! After inflation doubled the price of everything, the overpriced clothing available there just isn’t worth it….

There used to be a fly fishing shop in Highland Village. Was that Orvis, before Renaissance opened?

@4:34: Bet?

Orvis shirt at the store $75.00. Orvis shirt at Costco $19.00. Hmmm- competition wins every time!

Sorry but Orvis clothes are nerdy like LL Bean. Unless you can market to the young crowd who mindlessly spend in stores like Apple and Lululemon, you won’t be successful in this day and age with expensive retail locations. Even if we had fly fishing rivers nearby, it still would be a gamble.

If the tariffs are the actual cause then no big deal. A small price to pay to no longer have the world grossly take advantage of us.

Dang, this was a nice store.

I’ve seen Orvis clothes at Costco.

This is just the beginning , more Trump bullshih is coming to your door soon!

To 4:09 “I bet it was because of crime” and your friend at 4:11 “If the mayor and the city council don’t take crime more seriously more business will close of (sic) leave”
Can you read? Post clearly says this is not Jackson. It is at a nice center in Ridgeland with little to no crime. Irrelevant anyway on this case. Trump Tariffs!

They’re closing the one on King St. in Charleston, SC it was funny to read all the TDS comments when it popped up. Interestingly during Biden Admin, lots of small stores were closed or are closing down in Waikiki, because of high rent and taxes, same for Puerto Rico, same for Guam, with less Japanese and Korean tourists arriving. Again this was happening during the Biden Admin, but according to the TDS smooth brains on the left it only started this year.

@ "Foolish to open an Orvis in Mississippi to begin with."

Apparently you don't remember the Jackson Orvis store back in the day. On Ridgewood Road I think?
