Old Navy
This classic crowd favourite is owned by the same company that gives you GAP and it started out as a warehouse in 1994 when they needed to establish a different image from the parent company. Old Navy stores back then were modelled after grocery stores and had aisles, shopping carts and small impulse purchase items placed near the checkout area. The brand grew very quickly and in 1997, it became the first retailer to pass $1 billion in its first four years of business and opened 500 stores by the year 2000.
