Hoover's coverage by Alexandra Biesada

Overview

It was once a purveyor of outdoor gear, but American Eagle Outfitters now feathers its nest with polos and khakis. The mall-based retailer sells casual apparel and accessories (shirts, jeans, shorts, sweaters, skirts, footwear, belts, bags) aimed at men and women ages 15-25. The chain operates about 1,085 stores in all 50 US states, Puerto Rico, Canada, and now in the Middle East. Virtually all of the company's products bear its private-label brand names: American Eagle Outfitters and aerie. Its 77kids chain (launched in 2010) caters to a younger set (children ages two to 10). Direct sales come from the company's website and its AE magazine, a lifestyle publication that doubles as a catalog.
