American Apparel opens Amazon stores in Europe and Japan

Los Angeles -- American Apparel said Wednesday it has launched three new merchant stores on Amazon Marketplace in the U.K., Germany and Japan.



The three new stores follow American Apparel's U.S. deal with Amazon, which launched in 2010.



Orders will be processed and shipped from American Apparel's headquarters in downtown Los Angeles and returns will be accepted and processed locally by the company’s offices in those countries.



In addition to its four Amazon stores, American Apparel also operates its own 12 regional web stores and recently launched a mobile store in Japan.
