When Abercrombie Co. opened in Manhattan in 1892, it sold excursion goods. In fact, it sold adventurer-type items to no less than Teddy Roosevelt, Amelia Earhart and Charles Lindbergh. As it became more popular (and after Fitch came on), the flagship store on Madison Avenue housed a shooting range, a golf school with a resident pro, a kennel for cats and dogs, and a small pool for fly-fishing lessons.

Never been in an A&F store...all I knew about them was that they sold thongs with suggestive sayings on them for little girls and play really loud music....

Full grown coconut crabs have been known to grow as large as 6-feet in length. The massive arthropods – which can weigh as much as 30 pounds – cannot swim, but can climb trees and are strong enough to crack open the tree-fruit that gives them their name.

from Wiki:
The species inhabits the coastal forest regions of many Indo-Pacific islands, although localized extinction has occurred where the species is sympatric with man.

Ironically, a week before I saw that article, I had just watched an episode of Man, Woman, Wild when they were on the Cook Islands, Mykel was telling his wife Ruth about the coconut crabs, and she went about trying to capture them to eat. Apparently, they taste like lobster.
