Pleasant differences at American Eagle Outfitters Eastridge

Guests will find pleasant differences in American Eagle Outfitters Eastridge, located at the Upper Level Center Court of the shopping center. Store Manager John Hayashida and Assistant Store Manager Megan Powell focus hard on customer service, employee training and growth, as well as keeping a clean and pleasant shopping environment.

On Saturday, September 29 from 3 to 6 p.m., American Eagle Outfitters worked with Eastridge to put together the store’s first VIP Party. During the month of September, guests who spent $100 or more in one single purchase were invited to the VIP party with live DJ Emmanuel Edward Gutierrez Orosa (American Eagle’s very own Associate), refreshments and an exclusive gift. More than 200 guests joined the event and it was a way for John, Megan, and the Eastridge team to say “Thank-you” for being one of the store’s loyal customers. Guests were pampered with tasty treats and sparkling Martinelli’s apple juice, while shopping the newest fall trends and early fall clearance.

American Eagle Outfitters designs, markets and sells its own brand of laidback, current clothing targeting 15 to 25 year-olds, providing high-quality merchandise at affordable prices. AE's original collection includes standards like jeans and graphic Ts as well as essentials like accessories, outerwear, footwear, basics and swimwear. American Eagle currently operates 852 stores in 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, and 74 AE stores in Canada. American Eagle Eastridge opened in August 2005, shortly after the mall reopened after a complete renovation.

The American Eagle brand also includes a new collection of dorm wear and intimates, “aerie by American Eagle.” aerie is available in American Eagle stores across the country and at aerie.com. It includes bras, undies, camis, hoodies, robes, boxers, sweats and leggings for the AE girl. Designed to be sweetly sexy, comfortable and cozy, aerie offers AE customers a new way to express their personal style everyday, from the dorm room to the coffee shop to the classroom.
