Just over a year after opening a store in Portsmouth, N.H., Ramblers Way will close the store this weekend.
Seacoastonline reported that the store, which opened at 100 Market St. in February 2017, will close at the end of business on Sunday, April 29.
Ramblers Way, which is based in Kennebunk and was started by Tom’s of Maine co-founder Tom Chappell, sells sustainably produced clothing.
“We at Ramblers Way are sad to announce that we will be closing our Portsmouth store,” Chappell and COO Marty Bailey said in a statement published by Seacoastonline. “We have made the tough decision that the economics of our current location in Portsmouth are too difficult to support in our young retail life.”
Ramblers Way opened a Portland store, at 75 Market St., late last year. It has another store n Hanover, N.H.
Its website continues to say stores are planned for New York City, Cambridge, Mass., and Greenwich, Conn.
Neither Chappell nor Bailey could be reached for comment Thursday.
