Gabriel Brothers

The Century III Mall location is my favorite. I rarely find something I like here. I keep telling myself I won’t shop here again, but sometimes you are just compelled to check the clearance racks. Hard to pass up something new for $ 3.00. But everything must be tried on!

I love Gabes… this is the thrifty side of me talking. Where else can you go and get American Eagle Jeans, yoga pants, converse socks, guess boots, NY&CO shirts, and a nine west purse all for under $ 100.00??? Actually I probably got more than that on my last trip… yea me!
If you aren’t a patient shopper and don’t mind paying full retail, by all means shop elsewhere. This place will only frustrate you. However if you are like me then just give yourself about 2 – 3 hours to browse so you can keep an eye out for bargains.
Be warned you may, actually you will run into an item you love just to discover a huge stain or a ripped seam or a missing button. It happens, look for duplicates. Also place isn’t real clean continuing on with its frugal POV. Best advice… Try everything on before you purchase it… I mean EVERYTHING. I have visually missed a broken zipper or a small hole in the arm, but upon trying it on, the flaw is quickly found. Also they have a weird return policy so better off to play it safe…

As long as you keep in mind that this is a discount outlet with mostly seconds and discontinued items, you will not be disappointed with your experience. If you come in expecting good service, excellent organization and high quality items, you will be.
It is hit or miss for me at this store. I’ve gone in and bought several pairs of great brand name shoes at half the price of regular retail and I’ve also visited and found not a single pair of shoes in my size (11).
Catch the clearance racks. Often times dresses, jeans and tops will be marked down to $ 3! Last time I was in the store I got a nice pair of jeans, a wrap dress and two tops that were each only $ 3. You will have to wade through a lot of awful stuff too, but there are gems to be found.

Wow… this place… yikes.
My husband and I decided to check out Gabriel Brothers for the first time a week or two ago. I had seen several of them throughout the area but had never ventured inside over the 3 ½ years that I’ve lived here.
This store makes Wal-​Mart look like Macy’s and TJ Maxx look like Nordstrom. I’m sure that some good deals could be found here, but the overall assortment is very sub-​par. It’s so bad that Wal-​Mart sells the items that they can’t sell to this store. I know this because I bought an Ugly Sweater Party Chistmas turtleneck at Wal-​Mart last holiday season and saw the exact same top here.
So here are the reasons why you should shop at Gabriel Brothers:
1. You are very bored.
2. You are looking for extremely cheap home or kitchen items.
3. You are buying a gift for someone that you dislike.
4. You are looking for a ridiculous costume that may require an item like glitter cowgirl boots or a snowman turtleneck.

I have loved Gabe’s since I was a kid. I practical lived at the Century III location. This location in Monroeville has been here for quite some time.
I used to always be able to find something, but then they went and rearranged the whole store now I very rarely find something for myself, but I can always find something for my daughter. I was able to find a ton of t shirts, tank tops and shorts for her for under $ 3! I even found a perfect pair of jeans for $ 1!
There are some good deals on snack food, household cleaning supplies, housewares and toiletries as well.
I suggest going on a rainy day or just a day you don’t have anything to do and take your time to sift through the racks.
