The pic used for the boards are actually on the website...
But yeah, I go to Stony Brook and live here during the semesters.

Yes, I am aware that the boarded front is the picture on the website. I meant to take the picture of the front in the Smithhaven Mall to compare the size of the store from the other malls.

Cool. Did you get the job? I might be working across from your store, then.

Can't wait to see what this new brand is all about.

I went to San Fran over the winter, and all four brands are present in their mall.

A floor above their two-story Abercrombie and Fitch, there was a construction site that had the A&F banner on it.

I suspect Gilly Hicks, for some reason.

Gilly Hicks is an upcoming upscale and moderately priced Underwear brand from American lifestyle brand and company Abercrombie & Fitch Co. The brand will become the fifth from the company, and was initially known as Concept 5. Steeped in an Australian theme, Gilly Hick's will offer women's underwear.

The company has launched the brand's official homepage, which featured a promotional backdrop, similar to Ruehl No.925's original webpage when it was first launched. The current web-setup features an under-age-restricted promotional video, featuring a large assortment of topless women parading around the beach and home, as well as swimming, in panties. Scenes of naked men are scattered around the video as well. You have to be at least eighteen to view the video. Also on the website is a list of stores that plan to open in January. Whether the brand will open an official online store is still left to speculation.

Seven stores are rumored to open January 2008 , the first being in the new ultra high-end wing at the Natick Collection outside of Boston, Massachusetts. Another store will be opening at Aventura Mall in Aventura, Florida (along with a RUEHL No.925). The Natick Collection and Aventura Mall will be the only 2 places in the world where all five Abercrombie & Fitch concepts are in the same location for the time being. One is also opening at the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota. It will be located on the second level, West side, between Tommy Bahama and Hanna Anderson, a short distance from the Abercrombie & Fitch store. *I visited Abercrombie and Fitch at the Mall of America on Friday, January 4th, 2008 and they said Gilly Hicks would open in about a month, so I am assuming it will open sometime at the end of January or begginning of February. Note this was for the Mall of America location.* A store will also be opened at the Fox Valley Mall on the second floor. The official website for Gilly Hick's offers a store list. There are only five stores listed, however.

The following is a list of the confirmed future locations of Gilly Hicks: Sydney:

* Natick Collection / Natick, Massachusetts
* Smith Haven Mall / Lake Grove, New York
* Fox Valley / Aurora, Illinois
* Mall of America / Bloomington, Minnesota
* Westfarms / Farmington, Connecticut

It appears that they are going to use 1932 as the year of establishment.

The store may sell "downunderwear" / "downundies" and will have a "bra library."

Some possible names of cosmetics/fragrances:
Castlereigh
Tamarama
La Perouse
Calla Bluff
Velvet Cassia
Silver Shell
Blue Camden
White Willow
Beech Lilli
Kirrawee
Darlinghurst

It's a koala. They put it near the hem on some tank tops and it is also used on a hoodie my friend bought...definitely not over exposed like the hollister seagull or af moose is!

That's what abercrombie did right in women's underwear sales.
The store is comfortable for both sexes. Aside from the books of half naked men on the coffee tables, the store, I can imagine is easy for a woman and man to go into together and pick out underwear. It's dimly lit so you aren't going to get noticed from every corner of the room, the store is also divided up into tiny sections, and the cash wrap is also in a tiny area. The employees are very friendly and the bags say the name of the store, but aren't girly and obnoxious.

No longer does a man need to feel awkward shopping for their girlfriend, wife, or friend.

The only rule for guys is that they aren't allowed in the dressing rooms.

lol. For some reason, at least in the area of Michigan that I'm in (I've only heard it since I've gone away to college) some people call sweatshirts sweaters. I don't really understand.
