Giordano Continues Expansion In Middle East; Gap Inc. Dismisses Gap Division Design Chief Patrick Robinson

The Gap and Giordano retail stores both carry basic styles of clothing for everyday wear. This includes denim (jeans, etc.), sweaters, basic tees, and khaki trousers. Although they may carry similar merchandise, however, Giordano is doing much better with regards to sales. Giordano, an international company founded and based out of Hong Kong, has recently opened yet another store in Kuwait. For Giordano, business is booming in the middle eastern region. Meanwhile, the Gap struggles to make profits within its North American division. Although the Gap's Design Chief Patrick Robinson has been let go due to supposedly poor design decisions, could it be possible that specifically the styles sold within Gap stores simply do not sell well within the North American market?
