History of Gap
Don Fisher, a specialist in retail store locations as a real estate broker, has been inspired by his social friend Wally Haas Jr. – president of Levi Strauss & Co. It started when Fisher was inspired by the sudden success of ‘The Tower of Shoes’ business model of Levi’s in Sacramento, California in 1969.
Fisher asked Haas to have a copy of the business plan, where he was referred to Bud Robinson – the Director of Advertising. Later on, Robinson and Fisher worked out a legal test plan and became The Gap, a name given by Fisher’s wife Doris. They started to sell only Levi’s products then later included LP records to attract teen customers.
The first Gap store opened on August 21, 1969, in Ocean Avenue, San Francisco. It was only in 1974 when Gap began selling private-label merchandise. In the 90s, under the leadership of Millard Drexler, Gap had an upscale identity and revamped its inventory.
There were controversies about the leadership and management of Gap, but it still enjoyed success in international markets including in Canada. It was even one of the 100 Most Ethical Companies as listed by the Ethisphere Magazine, a for-profit company that measures and promotes corporate ethics in 2007.
