.bananarepublic domain extension

.bananarepublic is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) that was originally delegated to The Gap, Inc. in August 2016. It was intended for use by the Banana Republic clothing brand, which is owned by Gap. The domain never appeared in the root zone, meaning it was never actually usable on the internet. The IANA revoked the delegation in January 2024, so .bananarepublic no longer exists as a TLD. There were no public eligibility restrictions beyond being tied to the brand owner.

The .bananarepublic domain was delegated to The Gap, Inc. in 2016 as part of the new gTLD program. It was one of many brand TLDs that companies applied for but never activated. The revocation in 2024 suggests Gap decided not to maintain the delegation, possibly due to lack of use or changing priorities.
