Bend’s shopping scene offers a full spectrum of price points, styles and both local and chain stores. Located in the Old Mill District, American Eagle Outfitters has been serving locals since early in the Old Mill’s beginning. Aimed at a younger demographic, American Eagle began forty years ago as a store with a heavy focus on denim. As they say, “we exist to empower today’s youth, and enable them to express the truest, most authentic version of themselves.”

Offering high quality on-trend clothing, accessories and personal care products at affordable prices, American Eagle Outfitters is geared for 15 to 25-year-old girls and guys with stores throughout U.S. and Canada. While they may be a chain store, their ethos fits perfectly with a Bend mentality; “we aren’t just passionate about making great clothing, we’re passionate about making real connections with the people who wear them.” Their location right next to the Deschutes River near dining and other recreation makes them a part of the community.
