Gap was founded in 1969 in San Francisco, California by Doris and Don Fisher. Their goal was to make it easier for customers to find a great fitting pair of jeans and an easy-to-shop store experience. From that single store, Gap Inc. has grown to a family of six different brands--Gap, Banana Republic, Old Navy, Athleta, and Intermix with about 3,100 stores worldwide.
