The Gap

Parents always had difficulty understanding their teenage kids. As many parents decided to bear with the challenging years, some chose to name an entire store after them. A perfect example of this would be The Gap, and it was a clothing store that started to sell jeans and vinyl records mainly. The owners Donald and Doris Fishers chose to focus on teenagers and young adults and chose the name to signify the gap between teenagers and their parents. The Gap was not a regular store, and it was a cool store.
