These first three stores were originally constructed as Gap Warehouse stores[clarify]. The size and scale of the stores were larger and more diverse than any stores opened by the company before. Within the first year of existence, Old Navy opened 57 stores. As of 2007, Old Navy has more than 1,000 stores in the United States and Canada. The largest Old Navy stores are its flagship stores, located in New York City, the Mall of America, Seattle, Chicago, and San Francisco. The largest of these is located on Market Street in San Francisco. An Old Navy store in Canada.In 1994, the Founder of Gap, Inc., and the CEO were visiting Paris, France and came upon a place distinctly named Old Navy and it struck a chord with them. (The Old Navy official site says, "Old Navy was named after a bar in Paris.") A branding consultant two weeks before the trip abroad had presented them with the name 'Elevator'. The concept name was received with mixed reviews. It has been said that the name was chosen because the stores were to imitate the look and feel of a traditional military surplus store. While this motif was quickly dropped, though some packaging is still marked "Old Navy Surplus Co." many stores retain a warehouse-like/urban decor and the name Old Navy stuck.The online store, oldnavy.com, launched operations in 2000. There is always a $7 shipping fee, no matter how much you purchase online at oldnavy.comIn 1999, Old Navy expanded its franchise to 6 locations in Puerto Rico. In 2001, Old Navy opened 12 stores in the Greater Toronto Area, Canada. Furthermore, in 2004, 7 stores were opened in the province of Quebec (including 6 in the Montreal Area). Old Navy has since opened several stores in Ontario, and the rest of Canada.Old Navy ConceptOld Navy's target market largely consists of fashion oriented yet price conscious teens to adults. The clothing is more affordable than its other Gap, Inc., counterparts. Old Navy's stores contain specialized sections for infants, boys, girls, men, and women. Most recently, Old Navy launched a re-worked line of denim for women sizes 0 to 20, mens re-worked denim will be released in fall 2008. In addition to clothing, Old Navy also sells a variety of accessories such as shoes (their flip-flops are very popular), handbags, toys, hats, and sunglasses, along with a line of clothing and toys for dogs.For many years, Old Navy has attempted to put out a product a year that focuses on attempting to catch on, some more successful than others. The products that stand out are the Tech Vest and the Performance Fleece.Flagship stores also have "collection" business clothes for women, plus size and maternity sections. As of summer 2007 however, plus-size clothing is only available online and has been pulled from all stores. Online sales have proceeded to flourish after being offered exclusively online. Previously, Old Navy attempted to launch a bath and body line, called ONbody (Obsessively Natural), but dropped the effort after only a few months.Old Navy informally bills itself as an all-American brand. The chain releases a shirt every summer emblazoned with an American flag. Each year's shirt features a slightly altered flag graphic with the year listed underneath. Alternatively, they also offer shirts with the Puerto Rican flag on them. In its Canadian stores, a similar shirt with the Canadian flag is sold.In late September 2007, Old Navy started to offer Old Navy Visa cards, which are now, only available in the US. Unlike the regular ON credit card, these cards can be used anywhere but still bear the Old Navy logo on the front.
