Re: Anyone Else Remember Gibsons?
There was one in Texas City and one in Greenville that I visited back in the day. I worked in sporting goods for a chain called Globe Discount City that predated WalMart from '66 to the end of '71 and Gibson's was not really a competitor for the Globe stores in the Houston area, but folks would come in and show an ad for something and we'd match it. We were usually cheaper than all the discount stores that opened K-mart, Woolco and Gemco and toward the end of my days at Globe and I think Target opened in the Woolco location. I have visited the Gibson's in Weatherford several time and they had an impressive sporting goods department. Never been to the one in Kerrville. I'd say the ad in the post is mid to late 70's by the prices.
