A Growing Presence
Gabe’s isn’t just popping up in Pelham Parkway; it’s expanding its footprint across the country! With stores already in 20 states, this will be their third store in Alabama. The merger with Old Time Pottery earlier this year means that together, they now boast a whopping 169 stores.

Grand Opening Festivities!
Mark your calendars! The grand opening event is around the corner, and you won’t want to miss it.

Deals that Delight
One of the best things about shopping at Gabe’s is the unbeatable savings. With discounts of up to 70% off regular department store prices, you’ll feel like a smart shopper by the time you leave the store. Whether it’s gifting yourself a new outfit or sprucing up your home with stylish décor, Gabe’s aims to provide top brand names without the hefty price tags.
Commitment to Culture and Community
