Answer:
Gap Inc. provides limited information about individual store locations.
We're unable to confirm closings or other details on specific locations.
Answer:
The decision to close a store is always very difficult. Servicing our
customers is critical to us, and we keep that in mind when making our decision.
The determination to close a store can be attributed to different factors. When
a lease expires, we make a decision about what to do with the existing real
estate. This may entail repositioning within the market — simply moving the
store to a different location that will provide a better shopping experience
for our customers. Other times, we may use the real estate to bring a new brand
to the market.
Occasionally, a closure reflects underperformance and the company's
determination that it was no longer financially beneficial to keep that store
open. Information regarding individual store performance is not available.
Answer:
Our overall corporate real estate strategy is focused on optimizing our
store fleet and more aggressively allocating our square footage across all
brands to better serve our customers. We evaluate our stores from a market
perspective, and the decision to close a store is based on various criteria
including how many stores are located in that market, where the stores are
located and how the store is performing.
Answer:
Our goal is to minimize the impact to our employees. It's our policy to make
every effort to keep managers and sales associates within the company by
offering employees a transfer to a nearby store. When opportunities nearby
aren't available, or relocation is not possible, employees are offered a
severance package.
