Aéropostale: fashion destination for teens

July 26, 2020

Aéropostale provides “now” fashions for teens, aged 14 to 17.

Aéropostale’s 470 U.S. retail store locations.

In 1982, in Thousand Oaks, California, Macy’s department store began offering fashions for teens under the private label, Aéropostale.

In 1987 Aeropostale, Inc became an independent brand and opened the first Aéropostale store in Thousand Oaks, California, followed by another in Short Hills, New Jersey.  The success of these two retail locations spurred the opening of Aéropostale retail stores across the United States.

The history of the Aéropostale name…
Back in the 1920’s a pioneer airmail company was the first to fly between France, South Africa, and South America.  The company’s name was Aéropostale. In the 1920s such an accomplishment was big news and the early Aéropostale stores captured the heart of this great feat in both the style of their stores and in their line of aviation-style bomber jackets.
