    So the less availability the more popularity? :confused:

    Exclusivity or some **** like that...

    Although one wouldn't class Abercrombie as an exclusive brand in the least...

    Anyone that queues up to get into a shop has no self respect. Its one thing if its a couple of days before xmas and you need to get a certain present but this was just gimpish behaviour. Just as bad as the gimps that queue up for apple products.

    Agreed. If you're queuing up to buy food or to get something for free then fair enough, but to queue up to pay for a consumer product? Fook off.

    So from now on all the D4 kids wearing A&F cloths can't pretend they are so cool because they bought them in the US, while the ordinary Joe from outside D4 just had to go down to Dame St?

    That's levelling the gap between social classes :pac:

    Something about sandwiches


    Its a pity we dont have any Irish clothing company that has the pull to make people queue outside and spend loadsa money on them like that.

    Whats the chances of O'Neills and Penneys teaming up and having an O&P logo all over their hoodies? Maybe Arnotts and Dunnes can get in the act and call it PADO. Just as long as they don't team up with Elverys or someone, coz I wouldnt fancy having PAEDO written across me back!

    I should hope not, because people are saying really negative things about them.

    That'd be terrible advertising!

    Don't get it myself, I've been in the stores in the states and they do have a load of good looking young wans working there to be fair to them. Their aftershave is nice though, I've bought it a few times, mind you they're charging €92 for 100ml of the stuff. I paid $50 for the same size a few months back.

    That's a crazy price. How can they justify chargin that much? Agree that the aftershave is nice and I usually get a bottle or two if I know someone heading to the states!

    Two boys at door looked like tools waving at everybody.

    And why was the girl not topless like your man? Would of been handy, somewhere to hang your coat up when you are tryin on clothes!!

    Not with such a huge investment. I'd see them doing well just judging from how Hollister is doing.

    Everyone goes on about how comfortable their hoodies are but I've never ever bought an uncomfortable hoodie.

    I've got a really comfortable one that I bought in H&M - it was 30 euro. What makes the A&F ones sooooo much better?

    They're not, people tell themselves that a&f hoodies are "more comfortable" in order to justify the money they spend on them. "I buy it cos it's more comfortable" sounds better than "i buy it cos i think abercrombie is cool and i like their style".

    Ha, you would think they would be able to afford to give their staff new pants for the opening instead of those ones with the holes in them.

    I wouldn't say 6 months! Companies of that size would give it a bit longer!
    However what's the costs of a store that size?
    With rent of 750000 and rates as well as utilities and 300 staff Maybe 1.5 million as a conservative estimate! At that rate it's around 20000 jumpers after vat is taken off!

    That's a lot of stock one has to sell just to brake even! If they can pull it off fair play to them though! But with a recession as bad as it is it won't be easy for them!

    While in the mean time paying their staff who in turn go out and spend it in the domestic economy such as bars, shops, local retail etc.

    It these kind of companies that are helping reduce unemployment (1000 less in October alone).

    By your logic we shouldn't allow Foreign companies set up here as they take their profits home such as apple, dell, intel etc etc etc

    I for one, welcome the store.
