Gap (NYSE:GPS) said today it has opened the first Banana Republic store in Russia, through its franchise channel. The clothing retailer said it will open its first Gap store in Serbia tomorrow, representing its 200th franchise store globally.
Gap’s international chief said the announcement is a significant landmark in its goal of growing its franchise store base to 400 by 2014.
Gap is focused on growing its share of the $1.4 trillion global apparel market, it said. The company has expanded its franchise store base in 27 countries throughout Asia, Europe, Latin American, the Middle East, Australia and Africa, over the last five years. It plans to open stores in Chile, Vietnam and Morocco before fiscal 2011 is over.
Gap shares are trading lower by 1% on Thursday, while rival Abercrombie & Fitch (NYSE:ANF) is trading lower by 0.6%.

Men’s Wearhouse shares are trading sharply lower on Thursday, despite the results.
