American Eagle Closes Martin + Osa
American Eagle Outfitters is shedding its Martin + Osa concept.
NEW YORK (
) --
American Eagle Outfitters
(AEO) - Get Report
announced on Tuesday that it is shuttering its Martin + Osa concept.
This should come as a relief to American Eagle investors, as Martin + Osa has been a drain on American Eagle's business since its inception. In 2009 it recorded a loss of about $44 million.
American Eagle will now focus on its namesake concept, aerie, and children's brand 77kids.
All 28 Martin + Osa stores will close, as well as its online business -- moves that should be completed by the end of the year.
