We operate stores in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Japan. All references to "we," "our," "us," and "the Company" in this Annual Report mean The Gap, Inc. and its subsidiaries. We design virtually all of our products, which in turn are manufactured by independent sources, and sell them under our brands in the following store formats: Gap. Founded in 1969, Gap stores offer extensive selections of classically-styled, high quality, casual apparel at moderate price points. Products range from wardrobe basics such as denim, khakis and T-shirts to fashion apparel, accessories and personal care products for men and women, ages teen through adult. We entered the children's apparel market with the introduction of GapKids in 1986 and babyGap in 1989. These stores offer casual apparel and accessories in the tradition of Gap style and quality for children, ages newborn through pre-teen.
