Hollister Co.

The lighting is too dark/moody but liked the coziness of the layoutClothes as always are of high quality

Visited on a Sunday. When it's busy, it can feel quite crammed in there. Staff seemed a bit rushed

I’ve started shopping in Hollister recently mainly because the mens jeans seem to be my current fit. They also keep their stretch through a number of washes. Just got a pair of black slim fit (not skinny) jeans in the store at The Oracle. Now for the store. It’s … different. From the outside it is more like a late night under the arches nightclub. How do I get in? Once you walk in the store is compact but jammed with clothing goodness. Can normally find at least a couple items that I ‘want’. But. Why 4 stars? Here we go. The lighting in the store is very low level/dark. I like that. But the problem is the changing rooms are dark lit. I tried on a pair of black jeans (or so I thought) and could not tell the colour. Don’t know about you but when I try something on I want to be able to see it clearly in good light. Don’t let this put you off though. I just bought arguably the best pair of black jeans I currently own with nice black washed colour and really good fit and stretchy. And all for £29.95. Wore them last night. Have now ordered another 2 pairs. Highly recommended. @Hollister - change the fitting room lighting and you get 5+ stars.

Luckily, I got some bargains on the sale clothes range. Otherwise, their prices are way too expensive for my liking

Expensive clothing but they have a sale every now and then, which is the best time to buy. The clothes are comfortable and good quality.

Staff were rude to my partner. Fortunately being deaf they didn't know. When talking to us the staff didn't even look at us. Deaf people do exist and sometimes they reply on reading lips. I would say to the staff here, if you don't like dealing with people, get a different job

Well laid out and lots of options for both men and women, prices are a little expensive in some instances but if you look around there is a range of prices across the store. I would say this is aimed at certain sizes as there wasn't much range of clothing sizes out and available. Items that were out were very nice, shop was busy, staff were nice on the till, the queue for the changing rooms is a bit of a pain as the doors self lock which is understandable but then the staff weren't available to come and keep reopening them so we ended up waiting for just 1 room instead of the 3 there.

I've been to the Hollister in Reading a few times, and I've always been disappointed with the lack of sizes in stock. I'm a large, and I've rarely been able to find anything in my size. Even when I do find something, it's usually the last one in stock.I've also noticed that the store doesn't seem to get regular deliveries. I've been in there a few times when they've been completely out of stock of a particular item, and the staff have told me that they haven't had any deliveries for a few weeks.I'm not sure if this is a problem with the store itself, or if it's a problem with Hollister as a whole. However, it's definitely frustrating as a customer. I've ended up having to order online a few times, which is not ideal.Overall, I'm not very impressed with the Hollister in Reading. The lack of sizes in stock and the irregular deliveries make it difficult to find what you're looking for. I would recommend shopping online instead, or trying a different Hollister store.Here are some suggestions for how Hollister could improve the stock levels at their Reading store:Order more stock in general, especially of popular sizes.Get regular deliveries, so that the store is never completely out of stock of an item.Make it easier for customers to find out what sizes are in stock, such as by displaying the sizes on the website or in-store.I hope that Hollister will take these suggestions into account and improve the stock levels at their Reading store.

Friendly staff and good organisation of clothing. Relatively easy to locate what I want.
