    When a customer walks towards an Abercrombie and Fitch store (or their teen marketed brand, Hollister) they are immediately overwhelmed with the environment of the store. Abercrombie stores are dark, with huge pictures of perfect men and women and they emit the smell of their signature cologne, Fierce, from what seems to be hundreds of feet away. There are no windows in the shop and there’s usually loud house music playing. As they walk into the store, they are greeted by a gorgeous employee, who guides you into the dimly lit room and points you in the direction that you need to go. This illustrates one of the first paramount differences between the Abercrombie & Fitch branding and the American Eagle branding. As one approaches an American Eagle, the store is brightly lit and all of the windows are uncovered. The employees are nice and upfront, but average looking and welcoming. Also, in the stores, there is a wider variety of teen to young age groups shopping inside them.…
