Tennessee governor Bill Haslam said: “Gap’s latest commitment to create more than 500 new jobs is yet another confirmation that Tennessee’s central location and skilled workforce make it the ideal place for global companies to operate major distribution facilities.
“Gap has long been a crucial part of Sumner County and this significant expansion brings us closer to our goal of making Tennessee the No. 1 location in the South-East for high-quality jobs.”
Last July, the retailer invested $3.1m in the Gallatin facility to cater to the increasing demand for e-commerce sales on Gap’s brand websites.
