How to Open a Hollister Store

Clothes are one of the most necessities in our life because they are designed to protect our bodies and cover our nakedness. They also never go out of style because they are always the trend in the industry in every season.

Since Hollister is one of the most popular clothing brands today, you can also venture into this business for more profits.

Of course, the business plan must be drafted first for you to start well and have something to look for when everything seems wrong. This must include all the details of your business operation. For your financial plan to get straightened out, you need the advice of a CPA. Now, when it comes to the legal matters of your business, an attorney is what you need.

The target customers or audience must also be included in the plan to know the types of clothing your store will cater to. Do you want to focus more on ladies' clothes and dresses, men's or children's clothing?

Tips on Opening a Hollister Store

So let us get into the first factor in your business start-up. You will not know how to run a store if you don't have experience. So you should apply for a store manager position before you own a Hollister store.

Now, let us go to expenses and start-up costs. Since you need to have money to cover the initial payments and expenses, what you need to know first is the estimated cost required which is $5000. But the prices would also soar higher if you want a bigger store.

You also need to get a no objection certificate (NOC) for you to be able to operate your own Hollister store legally. But take note; there is more to that! You still need to get the necessary business licenses and permits as set by your local government. The additional expenses for your store will also go for the following: store leasing, decorations and designing, machinery and equipment, and advertising costs as well.

If you think that your expenses will end after paying for the start-up expenses, then you have the wrong thought in mind. Did you know that after you successfully open up your store, you will still be paying annual tax on the net income? So this is why you need to make everything you can to sell all your products through lead generation and marketing. You can hire construction workers to build your store when everything has been settled. Next, the advertising will follow.

  • Bertrand Robichaud said on March 30, 2012
    Hi, My name is Bertrand Robichaud from Neguac, New-Brunswick, Canada. There is no Hollister in New brunswick. Since people buy their clothes from Hollister on the internet I thought it'd be a good idea to build one in Neguac. If everyone in Moncton & Miramichi and Tracadie & Neguac can order it online I'm sure he will buy clothes from Hollister to Neguac. I would be interested to own a Hollister Neguac. Thank you

    Hi there, I'm returning to Brazil and have lived in United Kingdom for 12 years. I've been to Hollister shop many times in Bluewater. I really like the environment, the smell and the clothes. I and my husband are thinking about opening a business here and we thought about the store, probably Rio de Janeiro because is hot most of the year, by the beach and people are very trendy. I've checked and there is none in the whole country which means is a good reason to start. We have to be honest, we don't have much experience in this field, but happy to travel to USA and do training and learn about the business. My husband already have a business in UK and have experience in management. We're interested in having more information about the company and how to open a store. Can you please send me details. Thankfully and looking forward to hear from you soon. Graciella
