Friday, August 23, 2013, Vol. 37, No. 34

NASHVILLE (AP) - State business development officials say clothing retailer Gap Inc. plans to expand operations at its distribution center in Gallatin, creating about 90 jobs in the process.

Department of Economic and Community Development Commissioner Bill Hagerty says the expansion amounts to an investment of about $35 million in Sumner County.

The Gallatin facility provides service to the South for Gap brands, including Gap and Gap Outlet, Banana Republic and Banana Republic Factory stores, and Old Navy.

Hagerty says Gap provided about 2,500 Tennesseans with high quality jobs in 2012. He says Gap's decision to expand its distribution center in Middle Tennessee speaks highly of the state's central location and infrastructure.
