Plus-size clothing retailer Torrid has closed more than 150 “structurally unproductive” stores, according to its 2025 fourth quarter and fiscal year report.
The California-based women’s clothing brand was forced to close 151 stores nationwide, including 77 in the fourth quarter of last year.
Torrid CEO Lisa Harper said in a March 19 report that the closure was the result of “prudent strategic decisions” needed to put the business back on stronger footing. Torrid Holdings has also launched five sub-brands and “fundamentally restructured” its product assortment to support its efforts, he added.
Torrid offers a wide range of stylish apparel, underwear and accessories that are “artfully designed” for curvaceous women. The brand opened its first store in April 2001.
Torrid did not provide details about its future strategy, including whether it would involve further closures, but said, “Trends in the fourth quarter and early first quarter give us confidence that the foundations we have built are beginning to take hold.”
“We enter 2026 with a strong operating foundation, including optimized channels, products and pricing,” Harper said in the report. “We are confident we are on the right path and are encouraged by the early signs of progress we are seeing in the business.”
The closures come after Harper announced in January 2025 that Torrid would close “up to 180 underperforming stores” in the same year. At the time, he said the move would allow the company to “reduce fixed costs and reinvest in areas that drive long-term growth.”
Torrid did not immediately respond to USA TODAY’s request for comment or a list of closures on March 24.
