West Marine Closing Four Maryland Stores Amid Nationwide Restructuring

West Marine is closing four Maryland stores as part of a nationwide restructuring following its Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing. The closures are part of 59 stores shuttered across 23 states, with four Maryland locations identified: Baltimore, Edgewater, Rock Hall, and Ocean City. The Solomons store at 14030 H.G. Trueman Road remains open. The company, founded in 1968, notes the closures aim to align its footprint with current business needs while continuing to serve customers online and through remaining outlets. Warranties and West Advantage Rewards accounts will continue, even as the chain restructures amid supply-chain challenges and shifting consumer demand for higher-cost recreational gear.
