History

Established in 1987 by R.H. Macy & Co., the brand was named after the Compagnie Générale Aéropostale, a French airmail company. It gained prominence during the late 1990s and early 2000s as a staple of North American shopping malls. The company played a significant role in the teen retail sector alongside other specialty retailers. It underwent a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing in 2016 before being acquired by a retail consortium.
