Leaving The GAP for a Gap Year

Sean | October 27, 2008

Well, I’m composing my official goodbye e-mail for Gap Inc Direct.

I’ve been working at their main distribution center in Groveport, Ohio for a little over 5 years now working on enhancements to their Warehouse Management System to increase productivity and allow them to ship an astounding number of orders out to customers. Direct to consumer retail fulfillment has been interesting, to say the least. It’s definitely been a great experience working for the largest online clothing retailer in the World (Note: Zara apparently took the title in August, but that was mostly related to currency rates – I assume with the USD going back up, GAP is back to #1).

If you get a chance, buy something at GAP.com, Old Navy.com, BananaRepublic.com, PiperLime.com, or Athleta.com so my former co-workers get big, fat bonuses and can afford to swing by and meet me somewhere on my trip!
