There are 131 Gabe’s stores and 38 Old Town Pottery stores across 20 states, with the support of six distribution centers serving the Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, and Southeast.
In the early 1920s, Zaghieb G. "Z.G." Gabriel began selling merchandise out of the back of a green-paneled truck he had outfitted with shelves and drawers. As he drove his mobile shop through the coal towns of Fayette County, Pennsylvania, he greeted and got to know his customers, seeing firsthand the need for inexpensive merchandise. Z.G. began to hop freight trains bound for New York City, taking empty duffle bags with him. There, he would buy up excess inventory from shops, returning with bags full of merchandise to sell at deep discounts.
In 1961, Z.G.'s two sons, James and Arthur, co-founded the Gabriel Brothers Stores in Morgantown, West Virginia. Through the 1980s and 1990s, the brothers led Gabe's through an expansion into various states including Maryland, Ohio, and Virginia. In 2013, new ownership rebranded the stores as "Gabe's".[2]
In April 2023, Gabe’s acquired the Tennessee-based, home merchandise chain Old Time Pottery
