American Eagle Outfitters Reopens 43 Stores, Plans to Open 600 by May 31

Lifestyle-apparel company American Eagle Outfitters (NYSE: AEO) reopened slightly less than four dozen of its various brand stores this week, less than half a percent of its approximately 1,000 retail outlets. The openings still represent the first opportunity for customers to shop directly in American Eagle's aisles since the company shuttered its stores on March 18. Customers venturing back into American Eagle brick-and-mortar locations will find a battery of health and safety measures in place to help reassure them of a reduced coronavirus risk.
