Abercrombie & Fitch announced that it will open a new flagship at Kobmagergade 11, Copenhagen, Denmark in 2009. This will be the Company's second flagship in Europe, following the successful 2007 opening of its London flagship.
Consistent with its European expansion plans, Abercrombie & Fitch is also in the process of securing locations in Italy, France, Germany, Spain, and Sweden. The Company plans to open its first flagship in Asia, centrally located in Tokyo's Ginza district, in late 2009.
An important aspect of its international flagship strategy, Abercrombie & Fitch targets properties possessing architectural integrity. This approach emphasizes the Company's respect for excellent design as one of its key brand characteristics.
The 16,000 square foot Copenhagen flagship was designed in the old neoclassical style typically found in Danish architecture when constructed in 1910. Abercrombie & Fitch flagships in New York and London have undergone similar large scale restoration projects.
The Copenhagen flagship will be designed by Selldorf Architects and its principal Annabelle Selldorf.
Abercrombie & Fitch was represented by its exclusive European real estate consultant PBS Real Estate LLC and its principal Laura Pomerantz.
The Company operated 353 Abercrombie & Fitch stores, 202 abercrombie stores, 457 Hollister Co. stores, 23 RUEHL stores, and five Gilly Hicks stores in the United States at the end of fiscal April.
The Company also operated three Abercrombie & Fitch stores and three Hollister Co. stores in Canada and one Abercrombie & Fitch flagship in London, England.
