“We are excited to officially announce the upcoming launch of American Eagle Outfitters in the UK, we see a tremendous global appetite for both the American Eagle Outfitters® and aerie® brands and believe that our presence in three of the most popular shopping destinations in England will provide great exposure for us in this significant new market. We are focused on profitably scaling our international growth and believe that American Eagle Outfitters will have great traction in the UK.”
