Old Navy has become Gap's saving grace.
Gap Inc, the parent company of its namesake brand, Banana Republic, and Old Navy, has reported negative same-store sales growth for the past two years.

We visited a Gap and an Old Navy store on a rainy Thursday afternoon in one of New York's busiest shopping areas: Herald Square. We saw firsthand why the brand is resonating well with customers:
