6 reviews for Gap Clearance Store
What a bargain! We found so many great clothing items here and for amazingly low prices. It's true that some clothes have loose threads or discoloration, but there are definitely clothes that are available that are a-okay.
When we brought our clothes up the the register, the clerk asked what the prices were for some of the sweaters. I remember seeing a sign that broke down the prices based on whether the items were Gap ($7.99), Old Navy ($4.99), or Banana Republic ($9.99). Well, the guy ended up ringing up everything at $4.99 regardless of the label. We pointed it out to him, but he was like, "Eh, it's okay." So, it was such a steal!
When I'm back in the area and have the urge to shop without breaking the bank, I will make a trip out here again!
It doesn't get any better than this. You can just browse everything and pick and choose, take as many trips to the dressing room as you want, and you can leave with so much stuff without breaking the bank. I hate shopping and I can spend forever in here - a cheapo's dream!
Just because they are 'damaged', doesn't mean anything. sometimes they are only missing a button, from which you can pull one from another shirt missing a button (shhh don't tell!). Sometimes you have to dig to find things but when you do you can have a mix of banana, gap, old navy, etc. A whole new wardrobe.
If you live in Cincinnati as I did, it is about a 35 min drive to get there. When you are on 471 to 275, once you think you have driven too far, you will see the edge of the cincinnati airport parking lots and you are almost there! Definitely worth the trip!
The Gap Clearance Store is usually hit or miss, but when you hit, you hit big! I live in Indy, but recommend the store to all my friends up here if they are ever in the Cincinnati area. As other reviewers have noted, you will find a mix of items here - some will be torn, slightly stained or missing a button. Some you can buy anyway and easily fix them -- at these prices, they are worth it!
The store regularly has Gap, Banana Republic and Old Navy jeans for about $10, but I did happen to find a few pairs from ON last winter that were only $1.99. I have also purchased swim separates and tank tops for 25 cents apiece and long sleeve tees for about a dollar. You won't always find specials that are this cheap, but their "regular" priced items are worth it nonetheless -- women's dress pants are always $6.99!
If you aren't a bargain shopper and don't like to dig your way through jam-packed aisles, don't go here. But if you are like me and love to find a good deal, take a quick trip from Indy down 74 to 275 -- it's not that far!
If you're not particularly sensitive to the ebb and flow of fashion trends and don't mind flea market style shopping, the Gap "Outlet" is the best place in Greater Cincinnati for clothing bargains. Returned, damaged, and overstock items from Gap, Banana Republic, Old Navy, and now a variety of famous shoe brands are spread out over a huge warehouse and are priced at a fraction of their original cost.
You can regularly buy four pairs of jeans for what a single pair of Gap brand jeans would cost at the mall. Kids' clothes are usually priced below a dollar, as are accessories like purses, belts, and sunglasses. Even Banana Republic leather jackets are often sold for about twenty bucks. However, there is an understood cost to these remarkable deals. You must examine each item thoroughly for defects because products can't be returned once purchased.
For those with patience and gumption, the Gap Outlet can save you hundreds if not thousands of dollars on clothing expenses, though it might just cost you your sanity as well.
If you are not afraid of devoting a full morning to hunting and sifting through racks and racks of clothes and shoppers, the Gap Clearance Store is perfect for you. The price is right. You can get bags full of clothes for less than $50. They carry rejected items from all the Gap Brands, which also includes Banana Republic and Old Navy. Old Navy t-shirts are only 99 cents. It's true. The only catch is that many of the clothes have small stains and tears, so keep a watchful eye.
In addition to clothes is a selection of cast-off accessories. I got a new collar for my dog for only a quarter.
Purple suede wedge boots for $4.99 - nuff said!
