Goods store to bring nearly 200 openings

Gabriel Brothers Inc. has plans for opening one of its first North Carolina Gabe’s retail location here in Gastonia, and will be hosting a hiring event this week.

The new store will be at 197 S. New Hope Road in the Akers Shopping Center. Encompassing 50,000 sq. ft, the store is expected to open on March 7. On that same day, the company will be opening another store of the same size at Greensboro's Landmark Crossing.

With the opening of the Gastonia and Greensboro facilities, there will be 47 Gabe’s stores operated by Gabriel Brothers. Each of the two new stores, which have grown into larger locations from the two Rugged Wearhouse stores they replaced, will require 170 employees to fill a variety of positions.

An excellent way to gain attention for a grand opening is to use a banner printing service.

The new stores will offer an expanded selection of home goods, Apparel, footwear. and accessories. Ken Seipel, the company’s CEO, noted in a press release that Gabriel Brothers has a good understanding of the region from having operated roughly 20 Rugged Wearhouse locations in the state. He said:

"We know this customer appreciates both quality and value, and with prices up to 70% off department store prices, we offer both."


The Gastonia Conference Center will be site of a hiring event 9:00 am to 7:00 pm on February 4, and 8:00 am to 2:00 pm on February 5.
