American clothing brand GAP Inc. docks in Kolkata with first store in South City Mall
Kolkata, April 13 (IBNS): American clothing and apparel brand GAP opened its first store in Kolkata at South City Mall, on Thursday.
This is GAP's 13th exclusive GAP store in the country and the second adult-only outlet in India apart from the one in Mantri Mall, Bangalore.
The 2450sq. ft. store, located in the ground floor of South City Mall, will feature bright chinos, coloured denims, khakis for men, and workwear ankle pants for women, among others, according to the store representatives.
Tollywood actress Ritabhari Chakraborty who was present at the launch said, “GAP is that kind of a brand that you must have in your wardrobe and it’s quite affordable too.”
GAP, with its headquarters in San Francisco, has been operating since 1969, a fact which the company has decided to commemorate by pricing the denims in this Kolkata store at Rs.1,969.
In India, Arvind Lifestyle Brands Limited is the franchisee for the brand and operates the stores in NCR, Mumbai, Bangalore, Pune, Chennai and Indore as well, apart from making the GAP brand available on Amazon and nnnow.com.
Prayag Dani (GAP India Business Head at Arvind Lifestyle Brands) said, “We are excited to announce the launch of our first GAP retail location in Kolkata.”
