Nearly a decade after it disappeared from Westfield Montgomery mall, hot-again Hollister Co. is back for a second act. The new store, on the lower level next to American Eagle, is embracing its roots with a “Holiday Vault” collection that’s billed as “the iconic 2000s styles you’ve been asking for.” Apparently, today’s shoppers are asking for plaid pajama pants, zip-up hoodies, fleece-lined sweatshirts and faux fur-trimmed jackets — especially if they’re emblazoned with the classic Hollister name and logo. Many of the teens scooping up these pieces were in grade school or even preschool the last time Hollister was here. Sister store Abercrombie & Fitch, riding a similar wave of nostalgia-fueled popularity, made its own return to the mall in 2024.
