Gap, the leading clothing and accessories retailer, has announced the grand opening of four retail spaces for Old Navy, Gap, Banana Republic, and Athleta at the company’s remodeled global hub at 2 Folsom Street in San Francisco. Gap, which is headquartered in the US, is a global apparel and accessories brand with a clean, confident, and essential aesthetic.

The debut of these new stores adds nearly 18,000 square feet of fashion retail to the city’s buzzy East Cut neighborhood, located on the city’s Embarcadero waterfront just steps from BART, Muni, and the historic ferry terminal. The four ‘laboratory’ stores are part of Gap’s two-year renovation of its global hub, Gap said in a press release.

Gap CEO, Sonia Syngal, and San Francisco city supervisor, Matt Dorsey, joined a ribbon cutting ceremony, with Gap brand president and CEO, Mark Breitbard; Banana Republic president and CEO, Sandra Stangl; Athleta president and CEO, Mary Beth Laughton; Gap’s head of HR, Sheila Peters; and Gap chief growth transformation officer, Sally Gilligan.

“Our customers are central to every business decision we make, and we’re excited to welcome our hometown community and visitors alike to experience our four iconic brands inside our redesigned San Francisco hub. This reimagined space invites customers into the heart of our company, where our artists and designers, data scientists and technologists, sourcing and logistics experts, customer evangelists, and futurists will test new store technologies, consumer experiences and product innovations,” Syngal said in a statement.
