Roger Harper: Torpedo7 owner reveals plans to rebrand retailer

Torpedo7’s new owners have revealed a major shake-up to the outdoor sports gear retailer.

Tahua Partners plan to close its stores in Rotorua and Auckland's Westgate, then convert 10 of the 16 remaining locations to a new offering called The Outlet.

In a statement, it says Torpedo7 will continue to prioritise its online presence and its six flagship stores.

Owner Roger Harper says there's a clear gap in the market - and outlet shopping is always popular.
