Aéropostale, Inc. (occasionally known as Aéro) is an American shopping mall-based specialty retailer of casual apparel and accessories, principally targeting ages 14-to-40-year-old men and women through its Aéropostale stores and 4-to-12-year-old children through its P.S. from Aéropostale stores.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Aéropostale, Form 10-Q, Quarterly Report, Filing Date Dec 3, 2012 )〕 Aéropostale maintains control over its proprietary brands by designing, sourcing, marketing and selling all of its own merchandise. The company operates 773 Aéropostale stores in the U.S. (spanning all 50 states and Puerto Rico) and about 61 stores in Canada. P.S. from Aéropostale operates 26 stores in 12 U.S. states.〔 Aéropostale's licensees operate 239 Aéropostale and P.S. from Aéropostale locations in the Middle East, Asia, Europe, and Latin America. The first Aéropostale store was opened in 1987 by Macy's in the Westside Pavilion Mall in Los Angeles, CA. The company has grown from 119 stores in 1999 to the current 860.〔 ==Subsidiaries== To leverage the strength of the Aéropostale teen brand, the company has expanded its namesake chain to a new chain called "P.S. from Aéropostale", geared at children. ''P.S., from Aéropostale'', began in 2009, and originally only offered apparel at value prices to the 7–12 age market.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Aéropostale, Form 8-K, Current Report, Filing Date Mar 13, 2009 )〕 In winter of 2011, P.S. added apparel for three-, four-, five- and six-year-olds to their collections, being introduced with the Holiday clothings. Beginning in November 2013, the Bethany Mota collection was added to Aéropostale stores, featuring clothing and accessories designed by American video blogger Bethany Mota. Also beginning in the fall of 2013, the Live Love Dream collection (LLD) was added to Aéropostale stores. Live Love Dream features lounge and activewear geared to girls. The company also offered a secondary brand called Jimmy'Z that focused on surf and skater clothing. The 14 stores were branded as more upscale with higher price points than its parent chain. The company closed all Jimmy'Z in fiscal 2009.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Aéropostale, Form 8-K, Current Report, Filing Date Mar 10, 2005 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Aéropostale, Form 10-K, Annual Report, Filing Date Mar 29, 2010 )〕 In October 2014, the company launched their latest collection, United XXVI, which features clothing with an edgier look.
