Gap set to open in Israel

August 23, 2009

JERUSALEM (JTA) -- Gap will open its first store in Israel.

The Gap clothing retailer will open in Monday in Jerusalem at the Mamilla Avenue, a corridor of high-end retail shops running from the Jaffa Gate of the Old City to King David Street.

Gap founders Doris and Donald Fisher, who are Jewish, may attend the opening, Ynet reported.

A second store is set to open in February 2010 in Herzliya.

So from Jewish Hurwitz ownership of Palco to Jewish Fisher family ownership, both owners seemingly caring little about their non-Jewish workers. Humboldt Redwood Company is barely functioning, who knows what their workforce number is at but one drive through Scotia will tell you the Fishers aren't too concerned about their current role in helping Maxxam Jewish owners in creation of a ghost town.
