Abercrombie & Fitch to close 110 stores

Written by Dave Gallagher | The Bellingham Herald | August 25, 2010

In an SEC filing last week, Abercrombie & Fitch said it would close up to 110 stores over the next 18 months.

Most closures will come through expiring leases, but didn’t say specifically which stores would close. The New Albany, Ohio-based company said it will close 60 U.S. stores this year and an additional 50 U.S. stores in 2011.

Abercrombie currently operates 1,098 stores under the Abercrombie & Fitch, Abercrombie Kids, Hollister and Gilly Hicks brands. It has a store at Bellis Fair mall.
