Hollister Co. was founded in 1922, by Jim Hollister. It in NO WAY has any affiliation with Hollister Ranch, or Hollister, CA. Nor does it attempt to do so. The company is currently run by Jim Hollister IV, famed surfer. The company also is NOT an "offshoot of Abercrombie & Fitch. Yes, Hollister Co. is owned by A&F, just like Old Navy is owned by GAP, Inc.


Below are false representations of Hollister Co. Hollister Co. is a clothing store that targets 14 - 25 year olds. It is an offshoot of Abercrombie & Fitch. It is named after Hollister Ranch, located near Santa Barbara, California. Many in the Southern California surfer community have taken great offense to Abercrombie & Fitch's exploitation of their local culture, however Hollister has proven to be an enormous marketing success throughout the United States.

Hollister is also a city in California. Though many articles of Hollister Co. apparel bear the phrase "Hollister, CA" or "Hollister, Calif.," the town is an hour inland and has no connection with the company.
