It �s not the first time I �ve been asked and if anyone actually knows, I �d love to hear the answer. We speculated that:
a) The shop was started by Mr Pull and Mr Bear
b) It has absolutely no meaning whatsoever and was made up at random!

Didn �t their logo have a bear wearing a pullover once? Best I �ve got I �m afraid!

Nope, Ishorton99. Black&white logo, just saying PULL and BEAR. Black background and white letters... What a sudden and unexpected mystery. Uhm...

I honestly do not think it means anything. I think it was put together by a clever marketing team because it "sounded good".
I have seen Pull and Bear shops and the English in their advertisement is atrocious but some "team of specialists", thinks that it sounds cool. I mean, I think the last slogan I saw in a store window was something like "we got sale"... I just shiver when I see those kind of things.

Hi Zora,
I suppose you are absolutely right. It just sounds "cool" for "cool" youngsters.

Not the faintest idea.
