Gap

Came in and would like to give Peter (5stars) for his outstanding customer service. He was great and very helpful with everything! Other workers there were also very helpful and attentive!

This Gap location has very friendly staff but often does not have the sizes or styles that I find online which can make this a frustrating store location. It does its job and I tend to wander in regularly attracted by either ongoing sales or the clothes in the window but it’s not the biggest or best stocked Gap I’ve been to by a long shot.
Maybe it’s due to the large number of university age shoppers in the area, but frequently pants for women are available in sizes 24, 25, and then 29 and 30 and often the smalls and mediums are out of stock.
The fitting rooms are frequently a little disheveled; if you are lucky you may find an item in the size you are looking for hidden in the back with all of the dressing room discards.
On the plus side, the sales section is usually pretty expansive (check both behind the cash registers and in the back section along the wall in between women and kids for women’s sale and in the back for men’s sale) and I’ve been able to score great deals like printed pants for $ 11 and sweaters for $ 15. It may require you to rummage through for a bit though as the sales racks are roughly organized by style and size.
Sales staff is generally willing to help but on the weekends it can get a bit busy; you may find you have to escort yourself to an open fitting room.

Not recommended if you wear anything other than a men’s XXL or XXXL (maybe an XXS too!). I went to return two shirts and they literally only had one item in a medium. You can pay $ 6 to have them ship an item to you, so I guess they also profit from their poor inventory planning!

Compared to the other Gaps I’ve been to, this store is quite small, but I understand that it’s in downtown Evanston where almost all the stores are about this size. What really baffles me is the decision to have a kids section in an already small store. It’s in a college town! With college students! It would be better business to have a wider selection of adult clothes. Sometimes I stop in, and most of the time, I’m in and out of the store in 5 minutes because the selection of clothes that I’m interested in is like 10 square feet. Obviously I’m exaggerating, but it’s honestly how I feel when I shop here. However, I do appreciate when there are sales, because the racks aren’t as picked-​over as most other Gap stores, and you can score some really great deals! The staff isn’t uniform in terms of friendliness. Sometimes I walk in, and I’m automatically greeted and informed of the sales or new items (it’s usually that one lady that does that), and other times, I walk in, and the staff doesn’t even acknowledge my presence, not that I expect red-​carpet treatment. A simple «Hello» would suffice. In the end, I’ve been to better Gap stores than this one, and the only things keeping me from giving it one star is the one lady on the staff who is always attentive, and how the racks aren’t as picked-​over.

I needed to buy some basics (a few V neck shirts and a henley), so I stopped by The Gap when they had a 40% off all non-​sale items. I picked up a whole bunch of shirts for less than $ 40. Score!

I haven’t always had a great experience at this Gap but today I went in and Elenna was so helpful. I almost forgot I was at the Gap.

I tend to find what I’m looking for. Just another of the thousands of Gap stores in the world.

This GAP is just all right — the good thing about it is that when I cannot find a size or product in the city because it is sold out, this GAP usually has it!
However, it is a small GAP. And they added a kids/​baby section in the back so there isn’t much room for the adult clothing so it’s even smaller. I also wish they had a GAP body section.
The staff is inattentive which isn’t the best when you actually have a question.

As far as what they have in store, it’s fine. It’s the Gap. It’s a clean store, nice, tidy, well kept.
As far as the people working there, holy rude, batman.

Great Caesar’s ghost! Why did you reduce your inventory for adults by half and open a Baby Gap section? Did you notice you are in a college town? I don’t see too many college students pushing baby strollers around town. Seriously, I can be in and out of this store in five minutes. Not good for business, Gap, not good at all.

This place only has half of the selection they that they used to have now that the back of the store is a Baby Gap. This was already a pretty small store but they had a lot of selection and really good sales for the space they had. I was sad when I came in last time to see how that had changed.

I would like to start off by saying that the people who work at this Gap are very friendly and helpful, but the selection is kind of disappointing! Parking can also be kind of difficult, but if you go at the right time you can usually find a spot and walk around to the many great stores in the area.

Same thing with the Ann Taylor Loft around the corner– SWEET clearance! NOT picked over and I actually find better deals at this location than elsewhere (for work clothes). Second in underpicked-​ness would be Northbrook Court. Then there are the $ 10 off coupons that come in your gap card statement that are just more incentive to go back.
Hint: go to the Gap Outlet in the city, at Kimball/​Milwaukee/​Diversey to redeem these coupons and get CHEAP jeans/​skirts if you need the «Ankle» length. Unfortunately, the Outlet doesn’t stock their cheap work pants in «Ankle». Boo!

As far as Gaps go, this one is fine. If I buy things there, it’s generally accessories rather than clothes, but at least it’s an alternative to Urban and American Apparel.

I am not a huge fan of Gap unless I am shopping for basic, work type clothes. This store is a medium size and has an OK selection. I was not very impressed though.

This is not a great Gap. It needs to be more balanced in terms of gender for clothing. It’s also a shame that I couldn’t find an umbrella in here. Stop taking up space in Evanston, Gap!
