Gap Factory Store

Gap Factory is the outlet arm of Gap, the apparel brand founded in San Francisco in 1969, and this Downtown Boston store sells the label’s casual clothing for women, men, kids and babies at outlet prices. The brand describes its factory clothing as cool, current and affordable, and as a factory outlet the store offers deals across its Gap merchandise. It sits in Downtown Crossing, the city’s central shopping district.

The store occupies the I.J. Fox Building, an Art Deco landmark built in 1934 for the I.J. Fox fur company. Gap Factory spreads its merchandise across three floors of the historic building, which the downtown business district’s listing calls a dazzling Art Deco gem. The store is open seven days a week, so it fits into a weekday errand or a weekend shopping trip downtown.
