It was the summer of 1969: Man took his first walk on the moon. Nearly 450,000 people gathered in upstate New York to witness the historic Woodstock concert. And Doris and Don Fisher opened the first Gap store in San Francisco.
Today, Gap Inc. is one of the world's largest specialty retailers, with more than 3,100 stores and fiscal 2007 revenues of $15.8 billion. We operate four of the most recognised apparel brands in the world — Gap, Banana Republic, Old Navy and Piperlime.
Every day, we look for new ways to connect with customers around the world, provide value to our shareholders and make a positive contribution in the communities where we do business.
In the UK, Ireland and Northern Ireland, 5.500 people help bring our particular brand of high street fashion to customers, new and old, through some 134 stores via our Gap, GapKids and babyGap brands. And keeping them coming back time and time again takes a lot of energy, planning and, above all, creative thinking. “I created Gap with a simple idea: to make it easier to find a pair of jeans. We remain committed to that basic principle.” Don Fisher, Founder, Gap Inc. 1928 to 2009 Downloads 2007 Annual Report (PDF: 1516k) 2005-2006 Social Responsibility Report (PDF: 2010k)
