Small Gaps Between Us

Notice all the stores Dave mentions are related:

  • Gap, Banana Republic, and Old Navy are all Gap Inc. brands.
  • Eight years ago when Apple didn’t have any retail stores, Millard Drexler, then CEO of Gap Inc, joined the Apple Board of Directors.

Personally, I can count on one hand the number of items I’ve ever purchased from Gap Inc. They just don’t sell things in my size, let alone style.
