Gap started a less expensive version of its brand under the name Gap Warehouse in 1993. The following year Gap Warehouse was renamed Old Navy in order to establish a separate brand and image from its parent company.
The first Old Navy locations were in California.
Old Navy grew quickly and in 1997 became the first retailer to pass $1 billion in sales in its first four years of business.
By 2000 Old Navy had more than 500 stores.
In 2001 Old Navy expanded internationally with 12 stores in Canada.
Today Old Navy has more than 1,000 locations in the U.S., Canada, and Japan selling clothing and accessories for women, men, and kids.
