Abercrombie to Close Gilly Hicks Stores

Abercrombie & Fitch Co. (New Albany, Ohio) will end its Gilly Hicks experiment after six years, closing the 28 Australian-themed stores and incorporating the intimates brand into its 600-store Hollisters chain.

A&F chairman and ceo Michael Jeffries said the decision followed a “successful pilot of selling Gilly Hicks branded intimates in Hollister stores.”
