Out of all the stores that I shop at Hollister Co. is the store I visit most. Their clothes are original and comfortable. They have a variety of selections that you can pick from. This store is my top pick.

This is a clothing store for preteens, teenagers, and early twenties. They have a variety of shirts, jeans, skirts, shorts, swimwear, shoes, and perfumes and colognes. Their clothes are comparable to Abercrombie and American Eagle Outfitters. They have very colorful clothing choices to pick from and styles. The store employees are very helpful when help is needed for finding the clothes and sizes best for you.

The atmosphere of the store is like you’re on a beach. The theme of the store and brand is surfers, so there are palm trees, surfboards, and pictures of oceans and beaches around every corner turned in the store. The aroma of the store is very sweat and recognizable. The front of the store has been built to look like a hut on a beach. It has a deck on the front with two entrances one for “Bettys” and one for “Dudes”. The lighting makes the mood of the store calm, because the lighting is dim. With a blend of calming and upbeat music the mood is always happy and calm.

When entering the store you feel overwhelmed at first because there are clothes everywhere. The shelves are stacked they have tables full and racks and racks of hanging clothes. Not to worry though because they have all sizes in store so when you find something you like you can have it in the right size and not have to squeeze into it or be swimming in it. Sometimes I feel like it might take a long time to find what I am looking for but the store employees are very helpful.

The prices of this store are sometimes comparable to other stores like this. Abercrombie and American Eagle are related brands. Abercrombie is the most expensive while Hollister and American Eagle’s prices are very closely ranged. The pants there range anywhere from 20 dollars on clearance to 70 dollars when they first come out. This price may be somewhat expensive but compared to other brands like this that is very inexpensive or similar.

Low prices, good employees, beachy feel what’s not to love about shopping at Hollister? All of the well priced clothing is there for the buying.
