Abercrombie & Fitch Stores in the Syracuse, Onondaga, and Central New York Region (Within ~100 Miles)

   Abercrombie & Fitch (A&F) has evolved dramatically from its early 2000s peak as the ultimate preppy, logo-heavy mall staple into a modern, inclusive lifestyle brand that’s genuinely thriving in 2025. Under CEO Fran Horowitz, the company has shed much of its controversial past, focusing on premium fabrics, better fits across sizes (now offering extended sizing and more curve/plus options), sophisticated neutrals, elevated basics, and seriously good denim. Think soft sweaters, tailored outerwear, effortless dresses, and the brand’s signature fragrances—now with a grown-up, confident vibe that appeals to adults as much as (or more than) teens. The shopping experience in-store emphasizes dim lighting, loud music, and that iconic Fierce cologne scent, though it’s toned down from the club-like atmosphere of years past.

   Like many legacy mall brands, Abercrombie & Fitch has significantly reduced its physical footprint over the past decade, closing hundreds of locations to focus on larger, higher-performing stores and digital growth. Unfortunately for Central New York shoppers, this included the permanent closure of the Destiny USA store in Syracuse (previously at 9778 Destiny USA Drive). The location is no longer operational as of 2025, leaving no full-line Abercrombie & Fitch store in Onondaga County or the immediate Syracuse metropolitan area.

   However, A&F faithful within driving distance still have options, with the closest full store approximately 75–80 miles west.

Closest Location: Abercrombie & Fitch at Eastview Mall – Victor, NY (~75 miles from Syracuse)
   The nearest Abercrombie & Fitch is at one of Upstate New York’s premier shopping destinations: Eastview Mall in Victor (just east of Rochester). This spacious store carries the complete current assortment—men’s and women’s apparel, denim bars with expert styling, fragrances, and seasonal collections. It’s one of the stronger-performing locations in the region and often receives new drops early.
• Address: 437 Eastview Mall, Victor, NY 14564
• Phone: (585) 223-4520
• Typical Hours: Mon–Sat 10 AM–8 PM, Sun 11 AM–6 PM (extended holiday hours common; confirm via eastviewmall.com or the A&F app)
• Services: In-store pickup for online orders, personal styling, buy online pickup in-store (BOPIS), and fragrance consultations.
• Why Visit: Eastview is an upscale indoor/outdoor mall with Von Maur, L.L.Bean, Apple, and dozens of other premium brands. Easy Thruway access (I-90 exit 45), ample parking, and worth combining with a Rochester day trip or Canandaigua wine trail stop. Frequent in-store exclusives and clearance events (often 40–70% off).

   This is the only traditional Abercrombie & Fitch store within a true 100-mile radius of Syracuse as of December 2025. No locations exist in Waterloo Premium Outlets, Sangertown Square (New Hartford/Utica), Binghamton-area malls, or other regional centers.

Local Alternative: Hollister Co. at Destiny USA – Syracuse, NY (Sister Brand)
   While not Abercrombie & Fitch proper, Hollister Co. (owned by the same parent company, Abercrombie & Fitch Co.) operates a large store right in Destiny USA and offers very similar California-inspired casual styling—soffe shorts, graphic tees, hoodies, jeans, swim, and the brand’s signature beachy fragrances. Many items are virtually identical in fabric/quality to A&F but with a younger, surf vibe and often lower price points. It’s the best in-person option for Syracuse locals wanting that A&F DNA without the drive.
• Address: Destiny USA (Level 1, near the food court/entertainment wing), 9090 Destiny USA Drive, Syracuse, NY 13204
• Phone: Check Destiny USA directory or hollisterco.com store locator
• Services: Same as A&F—BOPIS, styling, frequent sales.

Shopping Tips for Central New Yorkers
   Abercrombie.com remains exceptional for Upstate shoppers: free shipping over $99, easy returns (including in-store at Hollister locations for A&F items in some cases), virtual styling, and the full size range. The A&F app often has app-exclusive discounts and early access to restocks. Clearance sections regularly hit 60–70% off, making premium pieces surprisingly affordable.

   Though the Syracuse A&F store is gone, the Victor location at Eastview Mall keeps the brand accessible for Central and Western New York shoppers—and with the company’s current hot streak (record sales in recent quarters), the in-person experience is better than ever for those willing to make the drive!
