About Gap
Gap has always been about optimistic American style. Starting with our very first store on Ocean Avenue in San Francisco, opened almost 50 years ago by Doris and Don Fisher, the thread that runs through those five decades is the phenomenal people that make up our brand—our employees and our customers. People who are rooted in the legacy that makes Gap what it is, but who are also focused on the future. If you want to be part of an iconic American brand and help lead the way for where we’re headed, we’d love to have you join us.
