The Orvis store at 335 The Bridge Street in Huntsville has permanently closed as part of a company-wide shift toward online sales.
A Legacy of Outdoor Adventure
Founded in 1856 by Charles F. Orvis in Manchester, Vermont, Orvis has spent more than 160 years creating equipment, apparel, and experiences for outdoor enthusiasts. The company started with fly-fishing gear and has expanded to include wingshooting, dog products, luggage, travel accessories, and home goods—all inspired by a love of nature and adventure.
Commitment to Customers and Conservation
Privately owned by the Perkins family since 1965, Orvis remains committed to superior customer service and a 100% satisfaction guarantee. The company also donates 5% of pre-tax profits annually to conservation, community projects, and canine health initiatives. Over the past 25 years, Orvis and its customers have contributed more than $20 million to preserving natural resources.
Continuing the Orvis Experience Online
Though the Bridge Street location has closed, Orvis continues to engage outdoor enthusiasts through its online store and educational platforms. Customers can explore gear, plan trips, or access instructional content on fly fishing, wingshooting, and dog care through the Orvis website and Learning Center. The company’s mission remains the same: to provide high-quality products, support outdoor adventures, and inspire a deeper connection to nature.
