Gap Outlet

who likes deals? me me meeeee
pretty organized for a bustling outlet, and they usually have a wide range of sizes. i cant tell if the prices are actually better than standard sales at regular gap stores… nevertheless, discounts galore

I have been shopping at gapes stores for many years, and I know that if you know when to come, you will be able to save a lot of money. It might not be the classic Gap store, but they have specials that cut the prices in half, and this is a celebration day for me ;) The staff here aren’t the greatest, but I am used to that in this size of stores.
Beside the prices, they do not carry all sizes, so you can easily find something you like, but you will not be able to find your size. It is OK, I have seen better gap stores, and I have seen worse.

I like the Gap Factory stores in general, but this particular store could be improved. The sales on ladies clothing here are great but the sizes in stock tend to be somewhat smaller. If you’re between a 10 to 14 you might be out of luck if you’re looking for jeans or pants. They’re also usually low rise, which doesn’t always work well when you’re a larger size. The tops, sweatsuits, hoodies, night shirts and shoes are much better in terms of selection and sizes. The bad for this store is that the clearance area is fairly large but always in disarray — clothing on the floor, sizes misplaced — just not easy to navigate. I blame the customers for sure, but there doesn’t seem to be any management of anything here. I have NEVER been able to reach this store by phone… it just rings and rings… and the cashiers talk to each other loudly about nonsense way too much. If you don’t mind all of that, you can find some very good bargains here but someone in the Gap Corporate Office needs to have a talk with whoever is in charge. I often don’t even bother coming in when I’m in the area because it’s so hectic and nerve wracking.

Well-​maintained space but a frustrating and unexplained one-​floor-​only fitting room setup, especially annoying because there ARE fitting rooms on the other floor.

Consider yourself in-​for-​frustration if you’re anywhere on the Fulton Mall whatsoever. My god, what an annoying, irksome thoroughfare. You’re heard of the ‘Boulevard of Dreams’ where Elvis, Marilyn, Marlon, and James Dean hang out? Call Fulton Mall the ‘boulevard-​of-​bad-​taste’. The skulking, menacing stooges on this street are a panoply of just that. If you drop a dollar on the sidewalk by accident, just let it go (you could get trampled, bending for it). Just sayin! Anyway so you cut your way down these sidewalks –dodging and weaving through the mongrel hordes – and hurl yourself through the doors of the Gap Outlet. But this is just the start of a very patience-​trying shopping excursion.
Oh, its a very ‘pretty’ store architecturally I suppose. Good security. Bright. Items are well-​labeled. But its just very tiresome to shop in. High energy, blood-​lust in the eyes of bargain-​hunters. Always crowded; always a disheveled, sloppy throng. Bodies milling about with the classic New York «I don’t know how to walk without throwing everyone else off» mental malady. A state of chaos reins as people dart forward and back, mosey the lanes in lazy curlicue patterns, or sometimes just stand stock-​still dawdling in an aisle, oblivious to the furor going on around them.
No one seems to be in charge or know what the rules are. All the staff have walkie-​talkies but they can’t seem to digest or absorb what’s going on around them. If a garment falls off a hanger right in front of them to land at their feet, they stare at it for a good long moment before it dawns on them what to do. They wander around in as much a fugue as customers; their minds rotted by over-​dependence on cellphones (frankly I think the only brain activity they can sustain is ogling their busty co-​workers and scheming up ploys to get some romantic action). They exhibit no ability at all, to focus on the mundane, humdrum duties of textile-​sales floorwalkers. Seriously, staffers are just useless here. In response to almost anything you ask them, the answer is ‘no’ or ‘I don’t know’.
Shopping strategies? It’s best if you know exactly what shelf your desired items reside on. Just zoom to it if you can. Quickly grab the article and hurry to a fitting room. Beware: 2^nd flr fitting rooms can arbitrarily be closed off (!) at the whim of management. They don’t want to pay a staffer to oversee fitting rooms when people can just be shunted to the ones downstairs. Great way to save money there, Gap. Anyway just get in-​and-​out as fast as possible, whether or not you find something which fits or not. Don’t linger! Don’t hem-​and-​haw! The terrible muzak and the careening, ricocheting bodies will drive you mad before you realize what’s happening.
Checkout: can be good or bad depending on who’s manning the registers. You can encounter the shrill little-​tin-​god rule-​mongers who insist you stand precisely where they want you to stand or you can get the «shrug-​and-​shake-​my-​head I don’ care bout any o’ dis» type. Anyway checkout is usually the least painful part of this Gap Outlet. Why that is? Don’t know. Its just good to be on your way out the door. No apologies necessary to anyone for escaping in haste, either. Remember, you still have to get off Fulton Mall before you can take a deep breath.

Gap Outlet sells items that will clothe you, but at the lowest quality possible. Think Gap look with kind of Old Navy quality. And that quality will last a year, maybe two. That’s it. And if you’re not skinny, go one size up on the pants.
If you’re a parent with small children, this is one of the best places to get a good deal on clothing for your growing children. I only recommend this place because you can take advantage of their offers that will allow you to save even more money.
So when is it best to shop at this store? Weekdays. If you go on Sunday, go early. The store’s busiest day is Sunday. I notice a lot of mothers with their children in tow while shopping there making the line on each floor very long. And those lines don’t move as fast as a line in Chipotle. (Know what I’m saying?)

The store had some great deals and was well organized. I ended up having to return a couple of items and had no issues. There is some good shopping nearby (H&M, Nordstrom Rack, etc) so if you’re in the area shopping, this store is a great choice.

I couldn’t find sizes and i had to look for someone to assist me. There was no one on the floor available after 15 minutes of going in circles through each aisle looking for a sales rep. When i come into a store i kind of expect to receive great service. And the experience i had wasn’t that great. But, the prices were reasonable for children.

I really loved visiting Gap Factory today. I loved walking up the stairs, to the second level children’s section, with my two small children and their scooters behind the daring momma who single stepped bumped up with her double stroller. (God only knows how she got back down) I loved having two armfuls of merchandise hearing my kid say «bathroom momma» and then hearing «sorry we don’t have a restroom». Awesome shopping experience. On the plus side there was a storewide sale.

Halfway through my shopping experience at this Gap, I realized it was a «factory store» in which everything fell into place.
Disheveled racks, unorganized shelves, poor visual displays, and customer service is minimal.
This is thrift store level.
Keep it up, Gap.

I could kick myself! On my last visit the week of Thanksgiving, I found some really sweet looking, warm and comfy hoddies. They were half off and I paid $ 16.95 for one.
I loved it so much that I practically lived in it and vowed to get more on my next visit.
Today, the sign still said half off but mysteriously they were now $ 24.95. I COULD KICK MYSELF! I bought another one. I hope on my other visit I won’t be subjected to another price increase sale making it $ 39.95 lolololo
The store lacked merchandise though and we the customers simply perused the aisles looking like Will Smith in that movie where he was left behind.
I like stores like the GAP and Old Navy so hell yeah SEE YOU SOON!
The End.

Worst retail store to work and shop in NYC ever .
I’m writing this about my personal experience I have had shopping at the gap outlet store in Brooklyn New York, I must say it was the worst store I’ve ever shopped in my life reason being the culture of the store are very unprofessional, and the most of the staff are nasty. where I came from and what I know associate advance basics on there talent but in this store it’s all about popularity and favoritism within the store managers to employees .
In details there isn’t schedule associate base on traffic sales days in the store and the few associate they do have isn’t enough for such a volume of a store. There is no confidentiality among the employees to manages even if it’s personal or confidential. They discuss anything and everything on the sales floor and if you observe carefully the manager will take the discussion right back there peers It’s so funny on a high traffic day or sale day, there is not enough associate schedule on the floor to assist customers, Overall the company is a great company but 400 Fulton Street has lots of room for improvement. Store always looks like a hot mess and hard to shop.

I am happy to say that since I last visited this store, I have bought some great goodies. Sizing seemed a bit off. A size 14, which is what I wear in other brands is too small here. They did have lots of XxL sizes in workout wear. My advice is check frequently since the new merchandise seems to be limited by only a few producta, but maybe gets restocked at night. Great selection of jeans. Bought some great shorts on clearance and a colorful neon scarf. So nice to have this store in Brooklyn. Thanks Gap!

Another outlet shop that has a lot of «deals», though everything is last year’s style or made specifically for the store. In all likelihood, you are better off looking for sales at the real store. However, they do have a pretty large selection and prices are decent.

This Gap outlet was pretty decent – had a good amount of styles in stock and offered lots of discounts. Since it’s an outlet, don’t expect to find the most up to date and current styles, but instead classic pieces, like the GAP logo sweatshirts and their jeans. I came here for the active wear, and was pleased to find a good selection with items up to 40% off. The dressing rooms were very clean as well and staff was busy but friendly.

It’s a blessing and a curse that the Fulton Mall strip is within walking distance to my work. Now I have yet another excuse to go shopping when my wallet says otherwise.
Among the many stores, the Gap Outlet is a favorite of mine. The inside is very clean, bright and organized. When I visited, the workers asked me right away if I needed any help and even searched for jeans sizes for me. There’s a decent selection of items… and of course since it’s an outlet, everything is discounted which is splendid.
Side note: If you have a coupon check to make sure the outlet is included in the fine print. Mine wasn’t… but hey 60% off sales aren’t too shabby. No complaining here.

Gap outlet usually disappoints me
It was 50% off the entire store, except clearance items… which made regular priced items cheaper then clearance items when taking that 50% off. Their baby selection is very small. I did get a bunch of cute stuff, but I was disappointed with their pricing. I get better deals at the regular GAP.
Be prepared to stand in line. The layout is pretty bad, so also be prepared to weave in and out of people!
Check online for a coupon that might be floating around! Usually 10% off your order!

I don’t know what’s come over Gap Outlet recently, but they’ve really stepped up their game. In the past few months I’ve picked up a couple pairs of jeans, some realllly cute skirts and other misc basics.
+ The sales happening on a weekly basis are awesome (up to 60% off everyday).
+ Redesign of the store: women’s clothing on the right, men’s in the middle & kids on the left.
+ Even when its crowded there’s always a dressing room open (there’s probably 15 dressing rooms total) and usually a half dozen cashiers moving quickly up front.
My only negative point is about the crowds at this store… its crowded allllll the time. Whether its a weekday afternoon, or evening expect a lot of people in the store. The best time I’ve ever visited was on a Sunday around 11 in the morning. Whatever time you visit– enjoy!

After seeing Peter D.‘s review I decided to check out this Gap Factory Store mainly because I was confused as to how or why a factory store was open in downtown Brooklyn.
My friends and I have been known to make seasonal trips out to the outlets in Long Island or upstate New York to catch a few deals. The Gap Factory Store is usually one of he stores at these outlet malls. There’s something about getting a deal. I totally thought that the Brooklyn location of this store was going to be overcrowded and messy. Maybe stepping in an hour before closing on the Saturday before Easter is the solution to his fear. No lines, helpful staff and cardigans for $ 14.99. Awesome!
This new store won’t replace my adventures to the outlets with girlfriends, but I’ll add it into my rotation when in need of a pair of jeans or a new top while in Brooklyn.

I’m not exactly sure what the difference between at Gap Factory Store and a regular Gap is. Is it that they have Baby Gap, Gap Kids, and men’s and women’s clothes all in the same store? Because they do.
Personally, I’m not an enormous fan of their clothes… but the selection is large, the staff was quick and helpful, and they do seem to be having pretty substantial sales on just about everything. They were even discounting pajamas covered in little foxes! I just wish they had them in my size.
Babies are so spoiled. They don’t realize how hard it is to find pajamas with the feet once you’re all grown and sexy like me.
