Gap (Shop)

Gap is probably my favourite clothes shop. You always know, if you decide to wander into one of the many nearby Gap shops, that there will be cheap, good quality, nice looking assistants...woops, make that clothes, for you to buy. Seriously, I don't think I have ever paid full price for anything at Gap - why would I? Half the shop is a sale rail. I'm not complaining though. The Clothes Gap sells pretty much everything. Tops, Jackets, trousers, ...
...thing I have noticed about Gap tops is that they seem to be short and wide - though I believe this is because Americans are short and fat. I dunno. Availability Gap is everywhere. There are two shops in York city centre, one at an out-of-town centre and another being built. Fortunately, due to Gap massive range, I havent seen anyone wearing my clothes. This is strange indeed. Price Cheap. it not that cheap at RRP, but practically everything is ...

Review of Gap (Shop)

...you can see colour and GAP go to together like black & white. Maybe this is the image they trying to present to the general public, at GAP you know what you is getting, nothing flashy, snazzy or in bright colours, but straight forward, good quality, and mostly bland (bland in a good sense!). I have some lovely clothes from GAP which I'm sure will last me for a couple of years at least. I'm often not sure whether the clothes are for women or men, ...
...so what can you expect. GAP is tying to use their American formula in the UK, and I think it’s worked. The only thing I don't like is their use of the word 'Fall' instead of Autumn, in their billboard advertising, which is a far lovelier word. I suppose my main criteria for shopping at chain stores is as follows: a) Are the goods of a suitable quality i.e. washable, wearable, durable? b) Do they have sales assistants on commission if yes- ...

Review of Gap (Shop)

I think Gap shops are brilliant for quality and if you save up it will be well worth the extra money you may have had to pay. I went to the Trafford Centre and they had a really good Gap store and although, the items are quite expensive, they looked very good on display, tempting enough to go in and have a look. I bought a blue hooded Gap top which was for £40, it was nicely fitted and was nice and warm. The range was so impressive, even though I ...
...I bought my younger cousin Gap cap, which was really nice, and although he wasn’t there I think he will like it. The after sales service was really good and I was informed that as long as I kept my receipt the good could be returned. There was a lot for me to chose from so that was good. How can you not want to buy from this store? Gap shops are trendy and will always appeal to you, I always save up and have to buy something from the shops, ...

I worked in a GAP store for 2 years and i still shop there regulary - so do my mother, father and grandfather. The clothing is avaliable in a wide variety of sizes, colours, styles and cuts which is a basic requirement for most customers which many high street shops seem to miss. The staff are always helpful and approachable and the products are clearly labled.From my experiences working there I know that the majority of the employees enjoy there ...
...shoppers overeall experience. GAP also have a very good returns policy, there is no time limit and if you dont have a reciept you can exchange or get a credit note. Also if you buy and Item of clothing and it goes in the sale the next day you con go into the shop and get the difference in price back!!! - very handy to know! ...

Review of Gap (Shop)

...first time I noticed a Gap shop was in Watford in 1993 and I didn't think much to the clothes then, but did like the adverts on TV. I'm not a big shopper, I know what I want and go looking for it, I don't buy on impulse but regularly go out lunchtimes with a mate who seems to have plenty of spare cash for clothes. My reason for writing this op is that I actually have an opinion on this chain. I don't care about other shops. I am happy to buy something ...
...favour. My feelings for Gap however run quite deep: I do not like it. The clothes are too expensive; the trousers are scruffy; the shirts look like an absolute nightmare to iron; the t-shirts and hoodies are overpriced. However my biggest problem is that most of the clothing makes you a walking advertisement. You couldn't write "GAP" any bigger on the clothes. Is this why they make the prices high? High prices = Status symbol so if people know ...

gap have done a lot for casual wear! men feel cormfatable in gap clothes wearing them around the house when they go shopping when they go to the gym or even pick up the kids from school. alothough the recent gap standing for gay and proud the sales ave still been high and customers will carry on going back to the shop for the reasonable prices, the good looking clothes and just so they can ogle at the girls working there! the adverts on tv are fun ...

...am always attracted to the gap shops, I just can’t help myself, whether it be I’m shopping for myself or my cousin. I always end up buying something from the store. I like buying jeans from their as I like the way they are cut, and they usually last a long time. The store usually is split into two sections, whereby they have an adult department and children’s one. I always think they have a more men’s range than a woman’s, ...
...enough to chose from. Gap clothes are not cheap by any means, but I think they are well worth the price as you can tell the are quality. I recently purchased a red gap hooded top, and embroided jeans for my little cousin, and you can tell they are quality, and because they knew it was a gift, they even wrapped it up for me which was nice. Now you can check on the website before you purchase, which helps you determine what you would like to buy, ...

...fraction of the orginal price. Gap clothes are usually just a tad too, expensive for me. But the sale is great opportunity to treat yourself and look fashionable. After all it still looks the same whether you paid 30 quid or 12 for it! And you can go and get hideously drunk with your mates, with the money you saved! ...

...However, a noticeable downside to GAP is the price. Quite honestly, I was shocked at the price I paid for my cargo pants, but I loved them so much that I bought them anyway. However, because they were so nice compared to other stores, I do feel that I got value for money. Another thing I don't like about GAP is their store layout - I just don't really get it. It seems to be all over the place and there isn't a large range. However, this might only ...
...enough and are eager to help (sometimes too eager). In conclusion, I would suggest that you have a look in GAP because there are some nice items there. But I don't go in to often as it tends to be expensive and leaves a hole in my pocket. ...

For some reason I did not like gap, I do not know why, I used to think it was expensive. However, I have changed my mind. The range is nice and plain and comfortable, there is no great fashion statement just plain good quality clothes. The value now seems better and the clothes better. Clothes from here will last and not be out of fashion next year. The other bonus is the sale, this is excellent value and most items seem to be reduced. The staff ...

Gap stores opening everywhere so the company must be getting more popular or just richer!. The stores has a huge range and new things coming in all the times. It has always been popualr for its jeans and jackets. The first time I wlaked in I just never expected it to be so great, I never brought enough, I liked a pair of jeans a top and a fleece there the whole out fit about £90 I had to get it so I did. The staff are friendly there and they alwyas ...
...want. They sell GAP kids too which sell clothes in all styles. When Gap have a sale on they redice quite well, I usually go in. I never thought I'd ever see the day when i went shopping and only came back with 4 bags of Gap clothes only! i would have to reccomend this shop to all who like casual clothes and to look smart. ...

...survive one washing, then the Gap is not the place for you. instead what you will find at the Gap are things that you can mix and match with current fashions, that will take a good beating, and that will be reasonably priced. Gap clothing tends to last much longer than the tat from other stores in the same price range, because many of the clothes are made for machine washing and drying. and if the clothes don't make it through the washing instructions, ...
...when i walk into the Gap after not visiting for a month, i will see something new. and the benefit of all this is constant sales and discounts on clothing -- if you see something you like, chances are, its price will be reduced in two weeks time. my favorite items at gap are of course JEANS which come in any wash imaginable and size is NEVER a problem. Also this winter they introduced coloured stripy scarfs which i absolutely fell in love with. ...

...they sell. I went into GAP with my girlfriend and she persuaded me to buy some wool trousers. I agree they were very nice to look at but they were extremely uncomfortable. I dont pay £40 for a pair of trousers that I then put in my wardrobe and never wear again because they rub my legs raw. Also when I walked in there I had a security guard stare at me. This made me very uncomfortable because as there were few customers in the shop(no surprises ...
...that has just spotted you comes over. I also think that the clothes are purely for an American market with their strange use of pastel colours which when I am honest does not suit anybody I know. Altogether shop at GAP and you are likely to regret it. ...

...what you people are thinking: GAP sells nice clothing; GAP sells comfortable clothing; GAP is reasonably priced; GAP is nice. All of which is true. Having established that, never shop there again. GAP has done more to stultify fashion then any other shop out there. I mean, it makes M & S look cutting-edge. Thankfully, we are all fortunate enough to live in a developed country and have a reasonable amount of disposable income. With this in mind, ...
...it for a minute – GAP really isn’t that cheap; GAP clothes are boring, non-distinct and common. Be different – you can buy cheaper, more fashionable clothing at any number of shops on the high street, not to mention markets and charity shops I know it’s easy to shop at GAP – there always seems to be one nearby; you don’t have to think very hard. Resist the temptation – I promise you that your snazzier-dressed self will thank me for it in the long ...
