Aeropostale Going Global
Aeropostale Inc., the mall-based retailer whose youth-oriented clothes are targeted for the customer between the ages of 14 and 17, has opened its first store outside of the United States. The New York company’s first international venture is in Dubai, where Aeropostale opened its doors at the Oasis Centre Mall. Aeropostale selected Apparel Group LLC as its licensee to open and operate its mall-based stores in the Middle East. The two companies expect to open more than 20 stores in the region in the future. Currently, Aeropostale operates 874 outlets in the United States and Puerto Rico and 29 in Canada.
