Gap Inc. said it will shutter all of its stores in the U.K., while offloading brick-and-mortar operations in France as part of a broad review of the retailer’s European business.
The company plans to maintain its e-commerce operations in Europe while closing company-operated Gap Specialty and Gap Outlet stores in the U.K. and Republic of Ireland by the end of September, according to a statement Wednesday.
