Gap: Everything Must Go!?

On the boot-cut heels of The Gap's recent announcement they'll be closing more U.S. locations to instead focus on retail locations abroad and that they're cutting TV ad dollars (yet again) to focus online, I passed a Gap on Fifth Avenue tonight (I think it was the one at East 53rd), and either they were revamping and getting ready for the holidays, or they were stripping the place down to the hangers:

Coincidentally, I just tried accessing Gap.com, and it was down for maintenance. Where will we get our most boring, severely overpriced white button-downs and Blockbuster Video khakis?
