Gap Factory Store

Gap. Actually, there’s a couple of gaps going on here.
I generally like the selection of clothes that Gap delivers to their outlet stores. Affordable summer wardrobe «fillers» for decent prices; t-​shirts, shorts, short-​sleeved button downs that will keep me groovin’ for a summer or two.
Size gap: 30″, 34″, 36″…wait, even, The Count, from Sesame Street knows that we’re missing an even number. When I’ve finally selected a pair of pants, they’ve never had my waist size in the style or cut that’s simpatico with my personal style.
Mannequin gap: Isn’t the purpose of mannequins striking poses meant to entice buyers, and the fashionably challenged, to buy the clothes they’re rockin? It’d be helpful if the clothes on the dummy were actually in stock.
Gender Gap: If you’re packing a couple of XY chromosomes, pickin’s are slim. I guess it’s not easy to have my size on the shelf when theres hardly a selection to go on those shelves.
Time Gap: I’ve rarely had the patience to pay for the few items that were the right size, the right style, the right cut. With a queue this long and this slow, I’m not opposed to filling my fashion gap elsewhere

Typical gap outlet. Unless it’s a great deal, I’d wait and come back, everything here usually ultimately goes to 70% off so I’d wait for that. The cashiers look like they could use a little more training in customer service and working the cash register itself.

This factory/​outlet store (or whatever) has a great selection considering that outlet stores carry off-​season items… Thank goodness for this funny-​acting weather the DC area has been having lately. A lot of good deals at this location.

This Gap Outlet store is cool! It is your run of the mill Gap Factory Store. The customer service is ok. A lot of little guys who are eager to help! Not too shabby!

The Gap Factory Store had a great selection of jeans, pants, shirts, and boxers (almost an insane amount of boxers) and many, many colors and sizes for shoppers large and small. Sign up for a Gap credit card for an additional 20 or 30 percent off your total purchase in addition to whatever sales they have going on.
The store clerk hastily corrected me when I erroneously told a friend that I thought that the outlets were at the National Harbor. Tangier Outlets are actually a mile or so away from the actual National Harbor. However, there is a shuttle to and from the actual National Harbor Monday through Saturday from 4pm to 9pm.

A pretty nice GAP store: Given the number of shoppers ravishing the racks and piles of clothes, I’m impressed that the staff were able to keep things fairly orderly. The store is of a respectable size and accommodates a reasonable clothing selection. There were plenty of staff on hand (I’m sure due to the Holiday shopping frenzy) and people were able to zip through the checkout line.
