Gap to close all UK stores including in Milton Keynes

    Clothing retailer Gap is to close all its retail stores across the UK and Ireland - including in Milton Keynes.

    The retailer will be going online-only, with stores expected to close during August and September this year.

    In a statement, the chain said: "In the United Kingdom and Europe, we are going to maintain our Gap online business.

    "The e-commerce business continues to grow and we want to meet our customers where they are shopping. We're becoming a digital-first business and we're looking for a partner to help drive our online business.

    "However, due to market dynamics in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, we shared with our team today that we are proposing to close all company-operated Gap Specialty and Gap Outlet stores in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland in a phased manner from the end of August through the end of September 2021.

    "We are thoughtfully moving through the consultation process with our European team, and we will provide support and transition assistance for our colleagues as we look to wind down stores."

    Gap's Milton Keynes store is currently located at Midsummer Place and also features GapKids and GapBaby.
