Can someone who works at Gilly Hicks it another Abercrombie & Fitch store answer this question?

I would prefer someone who works at Gilly Hicks to answer this because it's really a question about that particular store. Why aren't there more locations? I live near some pretty big cities &was hoping they would have a store in at least one of the malls, but there isn't any in my entire STATE. I live in Missouri &out of the 8 states touching us, the nearest one is in Illinois. Do you know anything about why there isn't many stores or if they'll be opening any new ones? Thanks in advance! -J.
