Of course, there are a lot of good branded boutiques in the capital, but it is this chain of stores that stands out among all with its impeccable seasoned sense of style.
History of Creation
The very first GAP store was opened by the Fisher family (husband and wife - Donald and Doris) in 1969, in San Francisco. Its full name - Generation Gap (from the English. "Generation Gap") did not take root, and it had to be cut. Initially, the company was engaged in the sale of vinyl records and Levi's jeans, later the leaders decided to increase the range and launched several lines of children's and teens' clothing.
During the entire existence of the company, it managed to become almost the largest chain of clothing stores (after Zara). The general manager is Glen Murphy, under his leadership there is a staff of about 152 thousand people. The first GAP store in Moscow was opened in Belaya Dacha shopping center in December 2008. At the moment, there are 10 large stores of this brand in the capital.
