According to The Wall Street Journal, Gap, of San Francisco, opened 19 Forth & Towne stores over the past 18 months in a bid to tap the baby-boomer market, long considered underserved by women’s clothing stores that tended to focus on teens and young adults.

Gap has also recently launched Piperlime, a shoe Web site that sells other companies’ brands. No word on how that operation is fairing.
