"Following on from other big retailers, Next and Gap deciding to partner up, we are set to see this partnership properly in action on the high street. It has been said that Next will open up five new Gap shop-in-shops within flagship stores. This was announced following the success of a pilot store in Oxford Street, London. The new shops are expected to be opened at the back end of 2022 in Lakeside, Manchester, and Birmingham."
It is fair to say that the Next deal has resurrected the status of Gap in the UK. Gap was forced to close down all 81 stores in the UK and Ireland between 2019 and 2020, which appeared to be a catastrophic ending in the UK for the American retailer.
