Abercrombie & Fitch appears to be opening in Winnipeg and Kitchener at Polo Park and Fairview Park malls. Winnipeg is confirmed by city permits and hiring, and there is a store manager job posted for Kitchener.
I don’t think that it’s a coincidence that both of these new stores are coming 15 years after Hollister opened their stores in both malls. It appears that A&F (which owns Hollister) likes to move Hollister to a new space in the mall for a modernizing, and then Abercrombie & Fitch takes the former Hollister spaces. They must have had 15 year agreements in place.
If this trend continues, Halifax is due for Abercrombie later this year as well, and Hamilton at Lime Ridge shortly after.
