Gap Group said on Tuesday that it had reached an agreement with Altamont Capital, which will also acquire all the business of the group’s high-end clothing brand Intermix, including store assets, e-commerce business, etc., but did not disclose the specific transaction price.
Intermis was acquired by Gap Group in 2019 and currently operates 31 stores.
In March this year, Gap sold its children’s clothing brand Janie and Jack to the brand investment company Go Global Retail.
Janie and Jack was founded in 2002 and was bought by Gap Group for US$35 million in 2019. However, Gap Group has adjusted its development strategy in recent years, and Janie and Jack have received correspondingly less attention.
