Abercrombie is the kids version of Abercrombie & Fitch. Not to be mistaken for the "adult" store, Abercrombie is showcased in lower case letters and has pictures of
kid models in the back of the register. The
people who usually shop here are soccer moms,
spanish families always looking in the sale section and the black
people who come from different states trying to return what they've stolen at another abercrombie location. Abercrombie used to be cool back in the
day when their clothes were original and well made. Now abercrombie has the same exact design each year but with different colors. In rare occasions they will feature a "black" or "charcoal" colored item although abercrombie does not sell black or purple. All abercrombie
based company stores are required to set the
music at a certain level, unfortunately this consists of terrible
techno/dance/pop
music at awfully loud levels. They are also required to spray the stores "main fragrance" every 30-60 minutes. You can usually hear or smell an abercrombie store from a mile away. It is required and the district managers for abercrombie stores make the rounds to make sure it's in effect. The employees are surprisingly diverse in most stores, they are required to greet customers at the door and use a
tag line at the register. Abercrombie and Abercrombie & Fitch mostly have the same designs but Abercrombie is cheaper as it's targeted for kids. The company requires the employee's to wear only certain colors for each specific season. There are two types of employee's at abercrombie, "models" which work on the floor and "impact" who usually work in the back. At some specific locations during the christmas season they will assign someone to stand in the front and greet
people (without folding or assisting customers). This is usually common at flagship locations. The flagship locations hire models for the first floor and front rooms and the rest of the workers are actual employees. At certain locations there is an "overnight team" that cleans up the store after it closes. The abercrombie fragrances at the moment are Cologne 15, Phelps and
Chase for boys and Spirit,
Emerson and Perfume 15 for
girls.
The entire company consists of Abercrombie (or a92), Abercrombie & Fitch,
Hollister Co., Ruehl and Gilly Hicks.
