The Gap, Inc.

Gap Inc. is an American multinational clothing and accessories retailer headquartered in San Francisco, California. Founded in 1969, the company's mission is to inspire authentic self-expression through its products and experiences, moving people, communities, and fashion forward. Its initial commitment was to make it easier for customers to find well-fitting jeans, evolving into a broader purpose beyond just selling clothes.

The company operates a portfolio of well-known brands, including its namesake Gap, Banana Republic, Old Navy, and Athleta. These brands offer a wide range of apparel, accessories, and personal care products designed for men, women, and children, catering to diverse consumer segments globally.

Richard Dickson serves as the President and Chief Executive Officer of Gap Inc., having taken the role in August 2023. The company, recognized as the largest specialty apparel company in the U.S., has recently focused on strategic initiatives to enhance its market positioning. In April 2026, Gap announced a multi-season collaboration with luxury fashion designer Victoria Beckham, signaling a pivot towards more premium offerings and a broader comeback strategy, building on the introduction of its GapStudio collection overseen by Creative Director Zac Posen. Gap Inc. reported a net income of $844 million in fiscal year 2024, a significant turnaround from previous losses, with the Gap brand itself showing strong sales growth. The company has also been strategically diversifying its global sourcing base, reducing reliance on China.
