Wealthy New York businessman Ezra Fitch became one of the store 's regular customers . In 1900 , Fitch bought a major share in the growing Abercrombie Company and thus joined as co-founder . Abercrombie Co. later moved into larger quarters at 314 Broadway , and Fitch began to implement experimental ideas to renovate the store . In 1904 , Fitch 's surname was added to Abercrombie 's and so the official name became Abercrombie & Fitch Co . </P>
