American Eagle Outfitters Vs Abercrombie & Fitch: Who Has Handled Store Consolidation Better?
Store consolidation appears to have worked much better for American Eagle, since its revenue per store has increased notably between 2011-2015 on average, with a closure of a number of under-performing stores. For both of Abercrombie’s brands (Abercrombie & Fitch and Hollister), the consolidation of stores hasn’t worked well considering its average revenue per store has declined considerably during the aforementioned period. Part of this can be attributed to the retailer’s merchandise issues.
