Why Columbia?
Orvis has had its sights set on Columbia for some time now, and the choice of Cross Hill Market for their new location was no accident. According to Orvis director of real estate, Jason Williams, this area was enticing due to its “active and energetic” vibe and its closeness to the brand’s core customers. Cross Hill Market has long been a fashionable shopping hub, boasting attractions like a Whole Foods grocery store, Midwood Smokehouse for some delicious barbecue, and Basil Thai Cuisine among others. It’s no wonder Orvis chose this hotspot to help outdoor enthusiasts gear up for their next adventure.
