This comes as experts claim the retailer "failed to adapt" and has decided to go online-only while planning to close 81 stores. The company has not revealed about how many employees will be affected by the move but promises that it will not be exiting the UK retail market.

We've decided to round up everything that we know so far about any possible sale and anything else that Brits might want to know about Gap's store closure. With Gap closing stores, it is possible there will be a closing down sale to sell off remaining stock in stores. However, BirminghamLive reached out to Gap who declined to comment on the situation. But other reports claim closing down sales are already happening at some stores across the UK. Oxford Mail reports that stock is being reduced in store with up to 60 per cent off certain items. Gap has yet to confirm how many employees will be affected by the closure but said it will be going through a consultation period with those affected. Reports suggest staff have been told "their final day is July 24th" and Gap has said it will be closing its stores "in a phased manner".
