The parent company of Dickies, VF Corporation (NYSE: VFC), plans to relocate the century-old workwear brand’s headquarters to the Vans offices in Costa Mesa.
The relocation is set for May 2025.
“This move allows VF to further consolidate its US real estate portfolio as part of its stated business turnaround strategy,” the company told the Business Journal in an email statement. “But more importantly, by co-locating Dickies with our Vans team in Costa Mesa, we will create an even more vibrant campus where creativity and best practice sharing can thrive through greater collaboration and connections – creating a dynamic and innovative environment similar to our other VF co-branded offices.”
Roughly 120 Dickies employees will be impacted by the move, according to various media reports.
It’s unclear how many workers will be moving to OC, the company told the Business Journal.
“While this move will support the revitalization of the Dickies brand, it will impact a significant number of positions held by our Dickies associates at the Fort Worth headquarters,” the company said. “These kinds of decisions are never made lightly. We are deeply grateful for our Dickies associates’ dedication and hard work and want to recognize the camaraderie and commitment they have shown to the brand.”
