Listen, gabes is a gold mine that needs to be discovered. You can't just go in there, stand in one spot waving a few articles of clothing around and then say, "nah this place isn't for me,..this place only has clothes for a certain type of style--which btw, I dress in all different styles depending on my mood or type of occasion and because I looked inside the entire store, that store became my go-to store for just about everything! White House Black Market-$3.99!!, white Tommy Hilfiger winter jacket-$13.00, a black angora winter jacket from Saaks 5th Ave!--$24.99 and let me tell you that these items aren't cheaply made items. Of course we know why they are there but isn't that why we shop there for them? Most of us know what we're getting when we shop at discount places such as this.. I've found and bought Guess jewelry, Franco Sarto heels, uggs, MKoors jackets and other apparel, etc. The home decor area is awesome and their pet area is too. Id rank them areas being the same as Ross, Marshall's, TJ Maxx..etc. pretty cool stuff-designer brands at a MUCH CHEAPER PRICE than those stores but similar in products. I will tell you though, I'm not too fond of their purses. Back when they first opened, I found a couple Betsy Johnsons and maybe a Guess or 2 but the last couple of years have been pretty plain, no-namers and stuff like Rosette (which I'm not knockin Rosette but it's just not for me). With all this being said, if you are a bargain shopper such as myself, then I'm pretty sure you've gotten my point. Gabes is a store that you have to take your time in. Especially when it comes to apparel and footwear. I've posted some pics of items that I've purchased along the past few years. Not everything is there obviously but just some examples of the pretty awesome finds that you too can find at your local Gabes dept store! Plan to atleast spend a couple hours in there to really get the entire...
Read moreFor nearly 5 years, Gabe’s has been one of my favorite stores to visit, until yesterday. At around 5:30pm my mom walked in the store with my dog, she weighs about 15 pounds and was tied with her leash to the cart. She was sleeping the whole time this situation happened. The store manager tells my mom that she needs to evacuate the store with my dog because she is a threat to the store. My mom does not understand English that well. So she calls me and tells me all this and I go to the store and tell my mom that’s nonsense, because I always bring my dog at Gabe’s and the workers are very friendly. Then the store manager comes up to me and says “for safety reasons you need to leave the store with your dog.” At this point I was very frustrated because I had never experienced this situation at Gabe’s before. I told the manager “ how is my dog a danger to the store if she never growled at nobody and was sleeping this whole time, she is the sweetest dog anybody could met. So I did not want to continue arguing with the manger but this situation was very unprofessional and very rude. Will NEVER go back to...
Read moreThey are sanitizing every shopping cart as soon as it is used, they also have reps throughout the store sanitizing very frequently i was there 2 hours and it seemed to be every 15 min a manager would sound off then workers would sanitizer all throughout the store. Then i went to check out and I was pleasantly surprised again by their management and response to covid19 pandemic they not ony have the 6 ft distancing.but after i set my things down on the counter i noticed the cashier had gloves,lysol and paper towels. She rang me up then sanitized all of the counter top and even the keyboard she touched after touching the money as i was putting my money away I noticed she was still cleaning the surrounding areas of her station. I stood to the side and watched her finish as she sanitized the bag holder,phone and card reader i used last she took off her gloves and sanitized her hands.This is why I gave them 5 stars during a pandemic and for once I feel safe enough during this whole crazy thing to take my son to buy him new shoes! So, thank you Gabes employees for your hard work it gave me...
