Clothe Ohio is going online-only. Their Short North shop, which opened at 867 N. High St. in 2016, will close on Sunday, May 12.
“We have listened to our customers wants and moving forward we will be fully focusing on online growth vs physical location growth,” the company posted on their Instagram page on Thursday.
Clothe Ohio is run by two brothers, Dustin and Elliott Fisher, who launched the business in 2015. A social enterprise, Clothe Ohio donates a t-shirt or sweatshirt to needy Ohioans each time one is purchased from their site or store. They’ve donated to dozens of non-profits, most recently Firefighters 4Kids, Hannah’s Treasure Chest and Providence House. In all, Clothe Ohio has donated more than 26,000 items since its founding.
As posted on social media, the company will move forward by focusing on growing their online community, as well as their wholesale and retail partnerships throughout Ohio.
They’ll host a clear out sale over the next two weeks. Everything in the store is 50 percent off until their closure on May 12.
