Gap Shutters At Partridge Creek Mall

CLINTON TOWNSHIP, MI — The Gap store at the Mall at Partridge has officially shuttered. Sunday was the last day for the store.

In March, the parent company, Gap Inc. announced plans to shutter about 230 stores over the next two years. Last year, the San Francisco-based retail company had a total of 725 specialty stores, not including those in China.

Sales had dropped 5 percent, according to Gap's 2018 earnings report.

The 50-year-old retailer has been mired in a financial swamp over the past few years. Gap is estimating that it will lose about $625 million from the store closure, but then save about $90 million as the process takes shape.

As the retail stores close, a shift to the Gap's e-commerce division will take place, according to the announcement.
