Gap finally opening in Dublin

Recruitment ad in the Irish Times today. No details on location - I'm guessing Dundrum. It will probably be the most expensive Gap on the planet.

You can get GAP gear in Arnotts.

Shouldn't that be re-opening? I remember there being a GAP shop in the Ilac Shopping center or on Suffolk street.

What's the big deal about Gap?

Yeah, I've never thought of Gap as a good clothing store. I wouldn't wear anything from there.

Jonny Arson

Woohoo yet another trendy high street store selling ****ty clothes at exorbitant prices just what rip-off Dublin needs!

Clothes retailer Gap to open in Ireland

American clothes retailer Gap is to open its first branch in Ireland.

The chain will have a large outlet in the Dublin department store Arnotts.

Recruitment advertisements have already been posted, and the outlet is expected to open sometime in the autumn, ahead of the all-important Christmas shopping season.

More overpriced **** tbh!:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I'm guessing Henry St, Debenhams have bought Roches, so it'd be an ideal concession for them. (and within spitting distance from me!!)

[edit] I'm not planning on spitting just spending a lot of money.

I got nice cheap basics and a fab sunhat in Gap in New York, that one in Arnotts has nothing in it at all, yay proper one.

Got lovely jeans there in Canada last summer. They do 31" legs finally for people with strange lenght in legs!!!

Busterpuss

Have to disagree with the slating of gap. Its the only place that do jeans that last for a lifetime at a reasonable price and great styles. The one in arnotts yes is shocking but anywhere else ive been, they are brill and their sales/outlet stores are fab.

Yay!! I hate having to always get my jeans altered

I heard it was opening in the Frascati Centre

Gap is opening in Arnotts on the 22nd of September.

The state of the jeans in the GAP section in Arnotts is absolutely shocking. Almost every pair of the full priced jeans had "hip" stains on them that actually resembled poo marks. I can't imagine myself, or anyone else for that matter, thinking that looks cool and parading about with that sort of a design on them.

There was a bin of half priced/discounted jeans that I didn't bother looking through but it's entirely possible that they were sans crap lookalike stains.

I think I heard that they had to pull out because they were not complying with some packaging law. I think my marketing lecturer told me that. Anyone else hear it before or did I make it up?

They had problems before but are now opening a River Island style shop in Arnotts

RoughJustice

They plan to open on the 29th September, and the prices will generally be lower than existing GAP stuff within the shop.

You can get Gap stuff here for years.. just no actual store.. that aside.. i have a GAP hoodie.... its grey and it says GAP on it could have got one in Penneys without the logo for a few Euro.. however i was in Michigan and it was freezing (-10) so i got one. My wife wears it mostly.. she loves GAP for their jeans.

phasers

I'm not mad on GAP myself,I think it's very overpriced for quite dull,average clothing that look like they are from Penneys
(not that I'm dissing Penneys,I love it,I just mean the clothes don't look like they should be that expensive.)

Stark

I got some nice clothes in the GAP in Edinburgh. It's nicer than quite a few of the chain stores imo. It is very hard to get good quality clothes these days though.

grimloch

It's not especially hard to get high quality clothes, it just has a tendency to be expensive.

beanyb

I got a couple of gorgeous skirts while in Toronto this summer. I got them on sale though, reduced from $60 to $15! In general though GAP isnt the best. Most of the stuff is really plain, boring and way overpriced.

Stark

It's one of those stores where I'd only buy sale items really. Like Timberland that way

I find GAP to be pretty dull myself. The only decent GAP store I've ever been in was north of Clearwater in Florida. The one in Cambridge is diabolical and the one in London is not much better.

I think phaser got it spot on when he compared their clothes to Penny's, the only difference being that they are a better fit. They do deserve that much credit.
