Company History

The Gymboree Corporation's history begins with the founding of Gymboree Play & Music in 1976, making it one of the oldest companies in its field. The appeal of the Gymboree brand was so broad that in 1986 Gymboree entered the apparel business, designing, manufacturing and retailing unique, high quality merchandise for children ages newborn to seven. The Company's enthusiastic approach to customer service propelled its growth in the 1980s and 1990s.
