Company Profile
Denim remains the core of the American Eagle brand, supported by tops, outerwear and accessories at accessible prices, while Aerie has grown from an intimates sub-brand into a major business in its own right, known for body-positive marketing and inclusive sizing. The company's earlier history - from the first store in 1977 through its 2008-era brand line-up - is kept on the history page linked below.
A March 2015 summary preserved in the original restates the position in the same terms: American Eagle Outfitters, Inc. (NYSE: AEO) is a leading global specialty retailer offering high-quality, on-trend clothing. What makes this profile valuable as a directory record, though, is the year-by-year timeline the original kept under that summary - a compact history of how a single mall store became a lifestyle retailer - and this rebuild preserves its milestones in the section below rather than replacing them with a fresh paraphrase.
