“The Gap bath and body product rollout to an additional 500 Gap Adult stores is taking place during the third and fourth quarters. Similarly, this month six new Gap Eaux de Toilettes are debuting at Gap Body stores with distribution to Gap Adult stores continuing as the year progresses. Also this month, 200 Gap Adult stores will launch three men's fragrance collections and a complete grooming and skin care collection, followed by shipments to another 300 stores later in the fall.”
Discussing business with the Banana Republic, Mr. Madar noted, “The Discover Collection will be joined by two new fragrances, Malachite for women and Cordovan for men next month, and in response to the strong sales of home fragrance products, additional items will be introduced.”
Moving on to European-based operations, Mr. Madar continued, “The 16% sales growth reflects continued strength of Burberry and Lanvin brand sales, the inclusion of Van Cleef & Arpels and of course, sales by our four majority-owned European distribution subsidiaries in the U.K., Spain, Germany and Italy. Launches scheduled for the second half include: S. T. Dupont Blanc, Roxy, our first fragrance under this brand and Paul Smith Rose.”
