Gabe's — Local services in North Canton

I have to admit, I have a love hate relationship with Gabe's over the years. This a GREAT place to find some amazing deals on name brand items but the condition of the store is what really determines how often I visit. I will say that I have seen tremendous improvement since they changed the name from Gabriel Brother's to Gabe's but one thing that stays the same is...the dirty floors in the changing rooms and how over crowded the area is near the shoes and entry to the dressing area. However, if you are able to turn a blind eye past this, you are definitely going to find a great deal on something. Most recently I found a pair of shoes for my son in clearance for $10 and next week seen them in the store for $50. Then I returned a month later and found another pair for $40 that are in the store for $80. You can find everything from Express, Nike, White House Black Market, Adidas, Joe Jeans, and more. There is something for EVERYONE at Gabes! Plus, the older African American man that greets you in the front of the store and the African American woman that attends to the dressing room are beyond sweet! He makes you feel beyond welcome with his smile and she makes you feel like you want to buy everything because she is so positive. Obviously, I...

Never had an issue before at Gabes. I enjoy shopping there because we always get great deals and cashiers are super friendly, however that was not the case with the dressing room attendant Cynthia. We went to pick out an outfit for my niece to wear for pictures. We approached the dressing room where only one person was trying on clothes and were told, "you're going to have to wait a minute. I need to finish clearing the other 7 stalls out." No problem. I get it, however her tone was so rude and after another minute or 2 she repeats herself and proceeds to roll her eyes at my sister and niece. As if they were a problem. Simply just wanting to try on clothes. And then after they waited she tells my sister that she can't go in to help my niece try on clothes. She's a child and a dress we picked out needed to be buttoned from the back. At this point we should've just left, but we were in a crunch for time and needed to find an outfit. I get it everyone has bad days, but we all do. I work in customer service myself, and would never treat anyone like we were treated by Cynthia. After almost 10 years of business with Gabe's we will...

I generally like Gabe's and the deals I often can find. However, last night (Oct 24) I wanted to try a couple of shirts on. There are two fitting rooms near the fitting room clerk's counter that have a paper sign that says "Men's fitting room". There was a female customer waiting by the counter (no clerk working there). She saw me knock and try to enter both men's fitting rooms, but they were both locked with a hasp, which required a key. I pressed the button to page a clerk to come unlock a room for me. After a few minutes the female customer said "I'd just go ahead and take whatever's open." I did, but I felt a little uncomfortable doing that. I tried some things on and when I was leaving the fitting rooms, I saw the same female customer. I asked if anyone ever showed up (I never heard anyone). She said nope, no one ever showed up. Anyhow, I know Target doesn't have separate men's and women's areas. If you're not going to have men's fitting rooms available take down the signs. I don't want people to think I'm some kind of creeper if they see me coming out of a room not...
