AEO also operates smaller concepts (Todd Snyder, Unsubscribed) and runs Quiet Platforms, which functions as a regionalized fulfillment network for AEO and can use excess capacity to serve select third parties. Internationally, AEO expands primarily through licensing partners that operate stores, concessions and online marketplace businesses across roughly 30 countries.
