"I went into Gap, and I honestly became obsessed with everything that I tried on. She stocked up on basics like sweatsuits and T-shirts, leaving with three or four pairs of denim because the fit and price point were amazing. The brand is now a staple in her wardrobe, and she said her friends have bought in, too."
"Gap's focus on younger customers - its target shopper is 25 to 35 - appears to be paying off. Sales rose 5% last year to $3.5 billion, cementing its comeback after years of flat or declining growth. Comparable sales were up 7% in the fourth quarter, marking Gap's ninth straight quarterly increase."
"Gap's global brand CEO Mark Breitbard returned to the brand in 2020 and has been on a mission to return to basics, reconnect with once-loyal millennials, and simultaneously win over Gen Z. It's been a full return to relevance of the brand, said Breitbard, who's been in leadership roles at Gap Inc. on and off since 2009."
