Description

Abercrombie & Fitch is the most successful specialty retailer in the
United States. Our casual, classic, all-American lifestyle brand of clothing is synonymous with quality. The A&F culture is one-of-a-kind. We design, merchandise, market and live-the Abercrombie & Fitch brand. We are the epitome of the ICONIC brand!

A&F's brand-powered momentum is fueled by constant lifestyle
reinforcement. Every aspect of our stores- including the music, the marketing and photos, and overall aesthetic-has made the in-store experience stronger than ever. Our web site, abercrombie.com, receives more than 1 million hits per month and has expanded the A&F experience beyond our stores.


With the addition of abercrombie, the lifestyle for kids 7-14, and Hollister Co., for 14-18, RUEHL 23 and up, and Gilly Hicks our 5th concept, our brands have never been stronger. Our focus, strategy, and planning are tuned for long-term, consistent growth and international locations.

We have been in Canada for the past few years, recently opened London, opening Tokyo soon (a mega 8 story flagship store in the heart of the Genza District), and we just bought a châteaux in Paris for our next European store. In the next 3 years we plan on opening a number of European locations which include Milan, Copenhagen, Manchester and Barcelona.


Manager-in-Training
The A&F training program is a comprehensive hands on and online 90-day
plan focused on immersing the trainee in all aspects of running a store. Training is conducted in any of our domestic or international
locations, and is broken down into weekly increments of focus. Each period the
trainee will shadow a different member of the management team providing
exposure to all principles of management. The store manager will conduct weekly performance assessments. An MIT must successfully complete 90-day training program to be promoted into an Assistant Manager position. Ideally, progression from the Manager in Training program to Store Manager should be within 8-10 months.
