“Our goal is to be responsibly aggressive,” Sonia Syngal, chief executive of Gap, said in an interview Tuesday. Gap said it would start reopening stores this weekend in Texas, though it declined to share the number of locations that would welcome customers. The figure represents nearly one-third of Gap’s locations in North America, where it also owns Intermix and Janie and Jack. Syngal, who was appointed chief executive of Gap in March, said that Texas has made it especially easy for national retailers to reopen. The company will encourage, though not require, customers to wear face coverings while shopping, and monitor the flow of customers in stores while encouraging social distancing.
