One of today's most popular brands of kids' clothing got its start due to non-fitting jeans. In 1969, Doris and Don Fisher opened the first GAP store. Don couldn't find a pair of jeans that fit correctly, and the rest is history. The pair never expected to grow into a large retail chain, but guided by compassion and a strong desire to win, the Fishers grew their company thoughtfully, with customers responding in kind. 

Gap, Inc. is one of today's leading international specialty retailers, boasting six brands — Gap, Old Navy, Banana Republic, Athleta, Piperlime, and INTERMIX. Gap Kids and Gap Outlets round out the clothing empire. The company owns nearly 3,700 stores and has more than 150,000 employees on their payroll.

The Bad

  • Quality of Clothing
  • Website Navigation

Quality of Clothing

Some customers have complained that GAP’s clothing fades or wears out after being worn even just a few times. This is especially problematic in children’s clothing which is often subject to more wear and tear than adult clothing.

Website Navigation

Other customers have pointed out that GAP’s website is difficult to navigate and takes a while to load. This is likely due to the large amount of content and pages included in GAP’s website, which on one hand contributes to an easy search experience, but on the other hand can lead to slower loading times.

The Bottom Line

GAP is a solid company, designing high-quality, top-notch styles at a mid-range price. The website isn't as simple as others, but is just another reason the Gap brand stands out in today's society. From the outlet stores to the child-specific Gap Kids store, to the online market, GAP can be found in nearly 90 countries, and provides outstanding customer service.

I love getting clothes for my kids from gap! They are really great quality clothes and trendy and cute. I don't buy them as often as I would because they are more costly- but I do love when I can dress my kids in their clothes!

I love BabyGap clothes. They are darling and nice quality. Some of my favorite pieces from my son's first year are BabyGap! I always recommend them to my friends who want a step up in quality from Carter's (who I still love).

I have four kids and Gap is a frequent stop when they need clothes. They are a little more expensive than other stores, but they always have the latest styles and their clothes last longer than cheaper clothes.
