'''Zip''' (known as '''Gash''' in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]]) is a clothing store featured in the [[Grand Theft Auto]] series. The store is based on the [[wp:Gap (clothing retailer)|Gap]] clothing store.
'''Zip''' (also known as '''Gash''' in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]]) is a recurring clothing chain first introduced in [[Grand Theft Auto III]], serving as a spoof of [[wp:Gap (clothing retailer)|Gap]]. Whilst most of its depictions in the series are cosmetic, Zip serves as an interactive clothing chain in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]].


There are stores in [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]] in [[Grand Theft Auto III]], [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]], and in [[Carcer City]] in [[Manhunt]]. Certain pedestrians carry shopping bags with the Zip logo on them and are usually seen in the [[Newport]] and [[Belleville Park]] districts of [[Staunton Island]].
== Description ==
=== GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories ===
The Zip brand is commonly associated with consumerism in the game, prominently featured in both [[Grand Theft Auto III]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]] on shopping bags carried by certain [[pedestrian]]s in the commercial districts of [[Newport]] and [[Belleville Park]] in [[Staunton Island]], [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]]; Zip boxes may also be found in the rear compartment of certain Landstalkers, implying the vehicle is used to transport excessive amount of purchased Zip merchandise.


Zip is known as Gash in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]]; however, there are Zip logos on some vans and on the [[Hotring Racer]]. There is a Gash store in the [[North Point Mall]] which pays protection money to [[Tommy Vercetti]]. A Casual clothing pickup that floats in front of the Gash store entrance on the second floor. It is a simple outfit consisting of jeans and a t-shirt and wearing can reduce a wanted level of up to two stars. Floating hundreds of feet above [[Vice City in GTA III Era|Vice City]] is a blimp that bears the Gash logo on it.

In [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], the Zip brand is replaced by Gash, which shares the same logo design as Zip; however, Zip logos are visible on certain vans and [[Hotring Racer]]s in the game. The game also features a two-storey Gash outlet at the [[North Point Mall]], which prominently features a [[Clothing in GTA Vice City|"Casual" clothing pickup]] (a simple outfit consisting of jeans and a T-shirt) in front of the second floor entrance, and is also incorporated into the mission "[[Shakedown (GTA VC)|Shakedown]]" as one of the outlets the player is required to intimidate for protection money. The Gash brand is also promoted on a blimp that floats hundreds of feet above [[Vice City in GTA III Era|Vice City]].


In [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], there are Zip stores located in [[Downtown Los Santos|Downtown]], [[Los Santos]]; [[Downtown San Fierro|Downtown]], [[San Fierro]]; and [[Pilgrim]]/[[Starfish Casino]], [[Las Venturas]]. All of these branches are unlocked upon completing the mission [[Are You Going to San Fierro?]]. Players can buy various attires and clothing for [[Carl Johnson]] to wear to increase his [[Statistics#GTA SA Statistics|sex appeal]] or other people's [[respect]] toward him. There is a building that is under construction in [[King's]] in San Fierro bearing a Zip logo. The building may be intended for another Zip store, although this is never confirmed throughout the game, as the construction never finished. It's also possible that the construction project is sponsored by Zip.
=== GTA San Andreas ===
Zip serves as a chain of interactive clothing stores in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], unlocked upon completion of "[[Are You Going to San Fierro?]]"; the outlet serves as a mid-range clothing outlet between [[Binco]] and [[Sub Urban]], and [[ProLaps]], [[Victim]] and [[Didier Sachs]], retailing at moderate prices. The chain boasts a total of four outlets all over [[State of San Andreas|San Andreas]]:

In addition, an eight storey building in [[King's]], San Fierro, features scaffolfing with banners that sport the Zip logo and an announcement that the building would house a Zip outlet ("New Store Open Soon - Six More Floors of Khakis"; the end of "Khakis" is partially obscured by paint, appearing to read "[http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Khak Khak]").
