Aéropostale has nearly 900 stores located in 49 U.S. states, and 36 in Canada. The company also sells its clothing through its web site, www.aeropostale.com. The company’s low prices are one of the main reasons why it has attracted a devoted customer base in an industry where fashion trends change quickly.
