So by now you might know that Gap has arrived in South Africa with its very own stand alone stores. Yes please!
“We are excited to bring Gap’s casual American style to more customers in Africa and introduce South African consumers to the brand’s store experience,” said Stefan Laban, managing director of strategic alliances for Gap Inc. “South Africa is the natural next step for expanding our store footprint on the continent. The country has a thriving economy and high Gap brand awareness, so we believe there is tremendous opportunity for us in the market.”
Gap Inc. expects to open three stores in South Africa in 2012. The first opened on Monday in Sandton City Mall in Johannesburg. The second opened yesterday in Cape Town’s Tyger Valley Centre . A third will follow in Pretoria’s Brooklyn Mall later this year. Each store will house product from the international Gap, GapKids and babyGap collections, and the assortment will be customized seasonally to best suit the needs of local customers and climate.
