 The Hollister concept was formed on February 12, 2000, the first store opening in 2002 at the Topanga Canyon Mall in Canoga Park, California. Hollister Co. is a wholly-owned subsidiary under Abercrombie & Fitch Management Co., which includes the lifestyle brands of Abercrombie & Fitch, abercrombie, and Ruehl no. 925. Despite what some may think, Hollister Co. was not named after the city in California nor does it have anything to do with the collection company JM Hollister Inc. that was established in 1963 in Fresno, California - it is named after Hollister Ranch, a prime (albeit privately owned) surfing spot located near Santa Barbara, California.
However, according to the label for Hollister Co.'s "Jake" cologne for men, the company is putting forth the idea that the store is named for its founder, a certain 'John Hollister' and that the cologne is named after his son Jake Hollister (who, judging from the verb tense, is presumably deceased): J.M. "Jake" Hollister, son of founder John Hollister, lived by his own rules. The champion surfer traveled the globe in search of the perfect wave. John named this fragrance after him in 1962. The essence of an eternally captivating spirit.
Although the company was actually established in 2000, Hollister Co. puts forth the date of its establishment as being 1922, and uses the number 22 on many of its goods.
