American Eagle Outfitters is a clothing and accessories retailer that was founded in 1977. Its flagship store is located in Pittsburgh, PA next to 77 Kids' flagship store.
Since June 2016, the chain is operated by Kabushiki Gaisha ABS. In late July, the conglomerate announced a new dedicated subdivision for its retail ventures, and American Eagle was placed inside this new division along with its former Kids brand, 77 Kids.
