Torrid Spares Jensen Beach, Port St. Lucie Stores in 151-Site Purge

Two Treasure Coast locations of plus-size retailer Torrid — at Treasure Coast Square Mall in Jensen Beach and The Landing at Tradition in Port St. Lucie — remain open as the chain continues a sweeping national restructuring that eliminated 151 stores during its 2025 fiscal year, which ended Jan. 31.

The Southern California-based company entered its 2026 fiscal year with 483 locations across North America, down sharply from prior years. Torrid has already shuttered 11 additional stores in 2026 and plans to close up to 30 more in the first half of the year. Both Treasure Coast locations were listed as active on the company's website as of late March.

The closures come as Torrid's financials have deteriorated. Net sales fell 14.3 percent to $236.2 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, down from $275.6 million in the same period the prior year. The company posted a net loss of $8.1 million for the quarter, with gross profit margins also declining. For the full fiscal year, net sales dropped 9.4 percent year over year.

CEO Lisa Harper defended the strategy in the company's year-end report. "We closed 151 structurally unproductive locations, launched sub-brands that generated approximately $70 million in sales, and fundamentally restructured our product assortment around core franchises and fabrications our customers value," Harper said. "I am confident we are on the right path and encouraged by early signs of progress we are seeing in the business."

Torrid caters to women in sizes 10–30 and competes in a retail segment that has faced growing pressure from online alternatives. The Jensen Beach and Port St. Lucie stores serve shoppers in Martin and St. Lucie counties who may have limited in-person alternatives for plus-size specialty retail. Whether either location falls among the up-to-30 additional closures planned for the first half of 2026 has not been confirmed.

Shoppers concerned about their local store's status should check Torrid's website directly for the most current location information.
