Some of the prices seem great until you do your homework with some cross comparisons. Much of the clothing pieces are irregulars so you definitely have to try them on prior to buying. This is the only place I shopped where a large, extra large, and 2XL fit. At times, an XL looks like a small, or a wide-bodied shirt has thin, narrow sleeves or small arm holes. Ladies pants have shorted inseams and crotch allowances that are more suited for a prepubescent male. The dresses are certainly outdated. Some discounts are minimal and others are deceptions with no discount at all. Underclothing is minimal. The shoes are a mess with poor selections and stuff that seems better suited for the 60s. Bedding and linens, ditto- know your prices for comparison and learn something about thread counts to be better informed. Kitchen and cookware can have some good buys but you need to look. There's some stuff for your Fido and Garfield friends along with a small school/ craft section for kids. Much of the clearance items are broken pieces or items missing their tops or lids. I really like the fleece blanket section that has some very attractive seasonal blankets. You can find some cushions for your lawn chairs but I wouldn't swear that you'd be able to find 4 in a matching print, There's some luggage pieces and duffle bags along with purses and wallets. I wasn't too impressed with snack or food item prices. You can get 6 pack bottles of coke for $5 which beats Walmart's price. Some food items are further reduced if the expiration date is near, but nine times out of 10, the reduced price is not honored at the register and the cashier's don't check or correct the difference. I have had to do several returns for refunds since the discrepancy was great enough. Now I steer clear of any food discounts- those strange green stickers that only allude you. The selections are mostly candy, chips, cereals, and whatever miscellaneous stuff they get in. The store is relatively clean except when store staff block isles with merchandise they are stocking and they will not assist you if there's something behind the boxes they're messing with- you just have to wait until they finish. Some of the cashiers make a big deal if you check out with a lot of merchandise. Although some understand that the purchases we make gives them jobs and keeps the store open, there are others who think you're abusing them with a full cart. Your checked out stuff is all tossed together so fragile items often break in the bag, very little folding is done, sometimes clothes are somewhat rolled and tossed in with everything else. Clothes and cleaning items can be thrown together so exercise some caution in advance by checking the caps on liquids to make sure they're secure.
You can sign up to get coupons for discounts once you receive a certain dollar amount of purchases, however, the expiration dates on those coupons Force you to come in at short intervals to be able to take advantage of the discount because the "use date" period is short.
I gave them 2 stars because of cashiers not checking to make sure reduced prices come up right. A lot of the clothing is odorous like it's been sitting in a stale, closed warehouse for a lengthy period of time, and then multiple aisles being blocked by stock that's being priced or shelved. Around lunchtime, customers pile up at the register and they only have 1 cashier trying to handle the load.
Gabe has Amazon lockers so you can avoid porch pirates by having your Amazon orders sent here. The lockers are inside at the back of the store, so you have the advantage of using a shopping cart to roll out your stuff to the car. The store hours allow you enough time to get to the lockers so you don't have to rush through traffic worrying about the place closing before you get there.

Unbelievably horrible experience, will never go back. I shop here twice a month and they just lost my business and my entire families business over a $20 jacket. I called to explain that I do not have the receipt or tag on jacket. It was warm so when I tried it on in the store I didn't use all of the buttons, well a week later I tried it on at home and one of the buttons was missing. Long story short I got hung up on twice when I called the store, and the supervisor at the store (Laura) when I had to drive down there in person was unapologetic and extremely rude, treated me like a criminal who stole the jacket. Hope it was worth it Gabe's!

Great prices but store did not seem to be very clean or organized. Items of shelves was a mess and made it hard to see what they had or to find the size needed etc. When I was there there was several young children running up and down the isles and being very loud and it was a major distraction and irrirating so we just left. The parents was nearby looking at clothes and seemed oblivious to their children.

I had three terrible experiences here, back to back. I went in on 8/15 to purchase a rug. I went in and the rug was so high wrapped around the metal bar that I needed assistance. I only found two people working and they were both on the register occupied. No problem. I purchased a hat along with a few other items and planned to come back in a few hours. The check out line was incredibly long due to them being short staffed. As I walked out after check out the alarm went off. I walked back in and the two workers were still busy and I wasn’t sure what set the alarm off. They didn’t turn their heads to see what the problem was and I had already felt like a nuisance. I come back to get the rug hours later and the employee was not happy to help. The next day, today, I realized that the hat I bought on the first transaction had the sensor on it. I went back to get the sensor taken off and the woman at the register, who I didn’t recognize, refused to take it off unless I had the receipt. I gave her the card I purchased it with along with my rewards card and she was extremely unkind insinuating that I stole the $12 hat. She eventually looked up my account and found the hat. I did get the sensor taken off. I was patient but incredibly taken back by the employees. I will not be returning to this Gabe’s. The employees are I am sure overworked, but they are not kind and are not helpful.
