In what city is Abercrombie & Fitch's corporate headquarters located?

Abercrombie & Fitch’s corporate headquarters is located in New Albany, Ohio.

The company’s headquarters, commonly called the Home Office, is in New Albany, a community northeast of Columbus. The location can cause confusion because New Albany is part of the greater Columbus metropolitan area, but it is a separate city. “Columbus” is therefore a reasonable regional reference, not the most precise answer to this question.

Abercrombie & Fitch moved its headquarters to New Albany in 2001. The company developed a large campus there for corporate offices, brand planning, distribution, and retail testing. The campus was designed to support the company’s different concepts, including Abercrombie, abercrombie kids, Hollister, and Gilly Hicks.

The New Albany headquarters also reflects the company’s modern history. Abercrombie & Fitch began in New York City in 1892 as an outdoor-goods retailer, but its corporate and retail identity changed substantially after the company was acquired by The Limited in 1988. Its headquarters moved to Columbus, Ohio, during that transition before settling at the New Albany Home Office.

New York is the company’s historical birthplace, not its current headquarters; Los Angeles is associated with Hollister’s California-inspired image, not corporate administration.
