American Institute of Mathematics is a research non-profit ran by one of the Fry brothers (of Fry Electronics).
At least until recently, it's been run out of the back of the office space of their headquarters location on Brokaw road in San Jose.
Now that the store (and the company) is defunct, I'm happy to see that AIM is still kicking.
Can't vouch for everything that they do, but they have been running pretty solid geometric group theory workshops on the reg. I got to attend one, and have good memories of it.
I'm still sad that the store has shut down. They cite COVID as a reason, but they've been in liquidation mode long before that (at some point, I couldn't even get a USB flash drive there!). I hope that AIM will go on as a legacy.
