Speculation Swirls Over Possible Gap Sale

All eyes are on Gap this week as the stumbling retail chain tries to find a direction following news of shrinking sales.

The San Francisco-based company recently hired investment banking firm Goldman Sachs to help it explore its options, leading to speculation of a potential sale to private equity groups or other interested parties.

The Gap had a tough holiday season, with same-store sales down 8 percent in December. It remains to be seen what direction the company will take, but executives could be moving closer to a decision after meeting in San Francisco earlier this week.
