Gabriel Brothers

Really hit or miss. Yesterday was a miss. I prefer some of the other locations, they seem to have more higher end clothing (like in the old days of Gabe’s). Most of what was on the racks today was really low quality synthetic clothing, and nothing for me!

Gabe’s is a great place to get great deals but sometimes you find stuff and sometimes you don’t. It’s hit or miss. They always have great deals on Nike’s. They sell clothing, rugs, bedding, toys, food, pet items and so many other things. You never know what you will find. People of all ages, cultures, and financial statuses shop there. Everyone is on the hunt for a good deal.

C’mon, Unilocalers — it’s Gabes! Of course the selection is hit or miss. They don’t really have a ton of control over their inventory! BUT, when it’s a good day at Gabes, you really feel like you’ve struck gold.
On top of that, if you’re in need of something bizarre, Gabes prob has it. Some of my past scores: purple suede slouchy boots for an 80s-​themed party for $ 10, TuPac playing cards for 99 cents, a flask that says «What Wouldn’t Jesus Do?» for $ 2, gold Pour La Victoire gladiator sandals for — I kid you not — $ 1.99, and, this is one of my faves, a GABRIEL BROTHERS polo shirt for $ 1! Yup. It was one of their own polo shirts that the screenprinter messed up, and now I can benefit from their loss and rep Gabes. Boom.
It’s awesome. If you enjoy the thrill of thrifting, or you like to score an awesome deal, just check out Gabes. They have: men’s, women’s, and children’s clothing, shoes, underwear/​lingerie, housewares, furniture (sometimes), pet stuff, cleaning supplies, a random aisle of shampoo and styling products, cards, and even some electronics. Every Gabes location has different inventory, too, so don’t let a mediocre visit to one dissuade you — Gabes is a modern day treasure hunt.

I can’t believe the reviewers here hate Gabes. Sure, about 80% of the time I stop in there, there is nothing to be had, but the other 20% of the time I score some great deals. Like a Cabellas Leather Coat for $ 40. Dress shirts, $ 4. Don’t drive out of your way to go here, but if you are in the area and have a few minutes to kill, Gabe’s is worth a stop.

As I said in my tip, I drove out here thinking that this was going to be completely awesome. I’ve dug through bargain racks before. But this is no Century 21. Pretty much all of the clothes I found were hideous. That’s almost 2 hours of my life that I can never get back.

Getting to this store is as much fun as shopping the racks.
Selection is VERY hit or miss. If you have the time to be able to browse at your leisure, you might be able to score some great buys. But if you are there looking for a specific item from a specific brand, good luck. Every so often there is a good buyout to look through.
I’m sure you could find better elsewhere.
