American Eagle Outfitters Store

American Eagle Outfitters: Casual, Comfortable Style in Syracuse and Throughout Central New York

American Eagle Outfitters (AE or AEO) has been the definitive American casual brand since 1977, delivering premium denim, soft tees, hoodies, flannels, activewear, and laid-back essentials that perfectly capture college-campus vibes, weekend hangs, and everyday confidence. Known for its legendary jeans (with fits for every body — skinny, slim, athletic, straight, mom, baggy, and more), the brand also includes the body-positive Aerie line for bras, undies, loungewear, swim, and Real Good® sustainable pieces made with less water and recycled materials. Many stores now carry OFFLINE by AEO activewear too, making AE a true one-stop shop for head-to-toe looks.

For anyone in the Syracuse/Onondaga County area — or willing to drive up to about 110 miles — there are four excellent American Eagle locations loaded with the latest drops, all easily reachable via I-90 or I-81.

Syracuse: Destiny USA (The Central NY Flagship)
The biggest and best American Eagle experience in the region is at Destiny USA
Address: 4 Destiny USA Drive, Space B-104, Syracuse, NY 13204
Phone: (315) 466-3406

You’ll also find a dedicated Aerie store nearby at 1 Destiny USA Drive, Space A-106, and an OFFLINE by AEO store — perfect for mixing and matching the full AEO ecosystem in one mall visit.

Destiny USA is New York’s largest shopping and entertainment destination, so pairing your AE run with dining, movies, go-karts, or just people-watching is effortless. Syracuse University students, locals, and visitors hit this location constantly for new jeans arrivals, seasonal collections, and the free hemming/tailoring service AE offers on bottoms. Parking is free and abundant, and it’s right off I-81.

Waterloo: Finger Lakes Premium Outlets (Best Deals, 45-Minute Drive West)
Just ~45 miles west of Syracuse (about 50 minutes via I-90), the American Eagle at Finger Lakes Premium Outlets is the outlet destination for the deepest discounts.
Address: 655 NY-318, Suite B061, Waterloo, NY 13165
Phone: (315) 539-3098

This is the spot for clearance racks, past-season steals, and outlet-exclusive pricing that can save you 30-70% off regular AE prices. Located in the popular Finger Lakes Premium Outlets (with 100+ brands like Nike, Coach, Under Armour, and Polo), it’s an easy day trip from Syracuse, Auburn, Geneva, or Ithaca. Plenty of parking and usually shorter lines than mall locations.

Victor: Eastview Mall (Upscale Rochester-Area Option, ~70 Miles West)
About 70 miles west of Syracuse (roughly 1 hour 10 minutes via I-90), American Eagle & Aerie at Eastview Mall is one of the strongest-performing stores in Upstate NY.
Address: 757 Eastview Mall, Victor, NY 14564
Phone: (585) 425-9984

Eastview is an upscale indoor mall with Apple, Lululemon, Pottery Barn, and a strong mix of premium brands. The AE here is spacious, always fully stocked with new arrivals, and often runs exclusive in-store promotions. Victor is just east of Rochester, making it a convenient stop if you’re coming from the Finger Lakes or Canandaigua areas too.

Rochester: The Mall at Greece Ridge (Classic Mall Vibes, ~87 Miles West)
87 miles west of Syracuse (about 1 hour 25 minutes via I-90) sits the American Eagle at The Mall at Greece Ridge.
Address: 405 Greece Ridge Center Drive, Rochester, NY 14626
Phone: (585) 227-8480

Greece Ridge is one of Rochester’s biggest traditional malls (with Macy’s, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Regal Cinemas, and round1 arcade/bowling). The AE store here carries the full range — jeans, graphic tees, hoodies, outerwear, Aerie essentials, and OFFLINE active — and gets the same drops as every other location. It’s the farthest of the bunch but still comfortably inside a 110-mile radius, and many Syracuse shoppers combine it with a Rochester day trip.

Why These Are Your Only Real Options Central NY
Beyond these four, the next closest American Eagle stores jump to Crossgates Mall in Albany (~140 miles east) or Walden Galleria in Buffalo (~150 miles west). There are no AE stores in Utica, Binghamton, Watertown, or Ithaca, so Syracuse-area shoppers are lucky to have Destiny USA as the home base, Waterloo for deals, and two strong Rochester-area options — all within easy driving distance.

Whether you’re hunting the perfect pair of jeans, stocking up on Aerie undies, grabbing Real Good hoodies, or building a whole new seasonal wardrobe, these Upstate New York American Eagle locations have you covered. Stay comfy, stay confident, Central NY.
