While financial, it’s also to get the remaining reps near the Patagonia retail stores to be closer to training and events covered by social media. There won’t be a pay discrepancy and indeed Patagonia rep wages will be relatively high in most of these cities (Chicago, Atlanta, Dallas, etc.. )vs the median wage (not sure I’d include Reno as low wage anymore). Looks like they used a lot of criteria and something like “site selection” software.
That said, wouldn’t read too much into it.
The Patagonia storefront in Santa Monica (basically far west Los Angeles on the coast) moved over 1 block to the 3d street shopping promenade while the REI that was catty corner from that old Pata location moved a bit south to Marina Del Ray in Los Angeles itself.
These large organizations use their own in-house metrics. It states for the remaining reps a 4K moving allowance will be given. So for all this (storefront rent, employee expense, etc..) I sometimes sit back and think about how much Capilene, Regulator fleece, H2NO rainwear, windbreakers, etc.. each Patagonia storefront and mail operation has to sell? Then again we all wear clothes .. well mostly.

Yes, the REI there moved due to theft and problems with EDPs. After Portland, Santa Monica is the Patagonia store with the most problems according to their threat matrix.
Patagonia had a major price increase in products in fall of 2022. It didn’t seem to stop customers from buying. Putting the company in trust status also seemed to be a good move for the company. Patagonia has an incredibly loyal customer base.
Happy Trails,

Don't own much Patagonia gear but have a pair of light Capilene long johns that must be 5-6 years old. Still in great shape. They are excellent at wicking and feel oh so nice on the skin. I'm price conscious but keep that history in mind before I snort at their price tags.
