In Japan, there are more than 100 Gap stores in operations. Japan is a great market for Gap products considering the total population of 125 million. Gap has yet to overwhelm the German market with a meager of 20 stores operating in Germany (Gap, 2008). Revenues In recent years, Gap Inc. has experienced a letdown in total revenues. Industry pundits suggest that the proliferation of stores is one reason why it was never able to generate initial funds in putting up stores. The company finds itself in an industry with fierce competitors for clothing supremacy.
With this in mind, profitability areas are deemed to be affected. Below is an annual report for Gap Inc. ‘s total revenues (Gap, 2008).
