Zumiez To Close 25 Stores in 2026

Alternative culture brand Zumiez plans to shutter 25 locations in 2026, largely in underperforming mall locations. “What we’re seeing in the U.S. is actually finally the end of, I think, the final leg on a bunch of mall locations at the lower end C- and D-volume mall locations, where we had traditionally been able to make some money, but now they’ve just got to the point where they’re just not working anymore,” said CEO Richard Brooks (via TheStreet).
