hollister
A cute, trendy store that is OWNED BY Abercrombie and Fitch. It is not an "offshot" of said store, but is owned by it. Those who claim that Hollister is a wannabe A&F store need to check their sources, and need to learn to research before sounding like idiots and dissing something they know nothing about.
Also, Hollister as well as Abercrombie clothes are both comfortable and of extremely high quality, therefore bringing the higher prices (in Abercrombie, that is, Hollister is less expensive). It is business code to highten the prices when the quality goes up, which is why a shirt from WalMart becomes destroyed two weeks after buying due to its lack of good quality. Good quality = higher prices. Its not rocket science.
Person A: "Hey, I like your shirt, whered you get it?"
Person B: "Oh, thanks, I got it from ____ (Abercrombie and Fitch/Hollister)"
Person A: "Oh, their stuff is such crap. Stupid, too small clothes, and way too high priced."
Person B: "Really? Thats odd, seeing as I've had this shirt for about three years, and its just as nice as when I bought it. They have very high quality clothes, hence the higher price range."
