Gabriel Brothers

This place is dark and dinghy and I swear that it has not changed in years. I mean it looks exactly the same as it did when I was in high school. Without giving that away, let’s just say it’s been over a decade. There is minimal organization in here, it’s like they get new items and just kind of throw it on a rack.
Speaking of the items for purchase here, make sure you got some time to browse. You may not find exactly what you are looking for. In all, this place kind of looks like a Goodwill.

This place is an absolute JOKE… and I’ll tell you why.
I don’t care how good their deals are, they have NO sense of customer service.
The story:
I lost my driver’s license and was backtracking all the places I had been to in order to determine where to look. I looked in the phone book so I could call them — no phone number. I called directory assistance — no listing. Finally, I call corporate headquarters and I get this biggest bullshit story about how they don’t list or give out any of the phone numbers to any of their stores. PERIOD! Have you ever heard of a company that doesn’t want to be easily accessible to customers, who they depend on for their income since they are a retailer? So, I start to ask questions of this corporate rep and she couldn’t care less that I’m just trying to call the store to find out if they have my license. She says that they don’t want customers bothering the stores asking if they have certain items in stock. I was like… WTH??? Are you serious? Do you know what you’re saying. She won’t tell me a business’s phone number but she had the audacity to ask me and then pressure me to give out my private, unpublished residential number so she could call the store and have someone call me. I declined as I don’t want my number in some massive database. Then again, I’m not a retailer who wants people’s money and business, so I saw no reason to oblige her.
After doing some creative searching, I found their number and called. The manager was more worried about learning how I got the store’s phone number than trying to help me determine if they found my license or not. He too said that the store doesn’t give out their number or list it on their website as they don’t want to be bothered with customers calling to inquire if they have a certain style of shirt or pants or whatever. I mean… I just couldn’t believe what I was hearing.
Bottom line… don’t go here and spend your money. WHY? Because, according to the manager, they don’t want to be bothered with customers.
Oh, and if you found my review looking for their phone number, here it is.
CALL THEM!

Got my New Balance shoes there for half the price they were at the mall, and i found a couple of pairs of Perry Ellis pants to wear at work for only 5 bucks a pop. Definitely worth the stop.

Gabriel Brothers has the best deals and the best brands for about an eighth of the original price. It definitely is a scavenger hunt for the treasures, but when you find them– it is REALLY exciting. American Apparel T-​shirts for $ 5, Free People for $ 10 and Urban Outfitters for $ 10… and I can keep going. My sister (Amy P.) and I make it a ritual to always stop in whenever we are home not only for the great deals, but it’s a lot of fun. If you want to stop somewhere for a hit or miss store, where the hits are 100 times better than places like tjmaxx and marshalls, I would definitely pull off the BLVD and have yourself a go!
