know how can I contact them or what I gota do before start it. if
anybody have any useful info on it, please let me know. and also how
much should I spend on it to get the name.

Hi PCKaiser ~

The Gap, Banana Reputlic, Old Navy, and the like are not available for
individual ownership, but are a part of Gap, Inc.'s nationwide chain
of stores. They are not a franchise. A study is done prior to opening
any stores, and decisions on which to open, and where, are always made
at the corporate leve.

Gap, Inc., has an active college recruitment program:

Here is information on Gap's corporate "family"

You'll find links to their job and location openings as well.
