The Longview, Texas, warehouse will be able to process 1 million packages per day.
Gap announced Wednesday that it will invest $140 million to construct a distribution center in Longview, Texas, as part of its effort to double its online business over the next two years.
The clothing and accessories giant said the 850,000-square-foot facility will be able to process 1 million packages per day. Initially, it will be used for Old Navy’s rapidly growing e-commerce business, then expand to other parts of Gap’s business.
Gap expects the facility will create more than 500 full-time jobs by the end of 2023, and more than 1,000 over the next five years.
It also should bring more than 1,000 part-time and seasonal jobs to the area by 2026.
