BabyGap, GapKids return to downtown

BabyGap and GapKids are back in downtown Lawrence.

Gap, 643 Mass., this week announced the return of the two concepts to the southern side of the retail store, 643 Mass.

The two concepts had been missing from Gap’s Lawrence store since 2005, when they were dropped to make way for Gap Body — a lineup of sleepwear, intimate apparel and other items. Now Gap Body merchandise has been incorporated into the main Gap store, opening up space for the return of products intended for babies, toddlers and children.

BabyGap and GapKids first arrived at the downtown Gap store in November 2000, when Gap relocated from 647 Mass. to the larger, 15,000-square-foot space at 643 Mass.
