American Eagle Outfitters Inc
A clothing retailer best known for jeans and casual wear for teens and young adults, sold through its American Eagle brand and its lingerie and loungewear line Aerie. It was founded in 1977 by brothers Jerry and Mark Silverman, who launched it out of their family's menswear business, with the first store opening in a Michigan mall. Fun fact: the "Outfitters" name came from its early days, when it actually sold camping gear and hiking clothes before shifting to fashion.
