Gimbels

Gimbels was a well-known department store chain in the United States, founded in 1887. It was famous for offering a wide range of products, from clothing and cosmetics to household goods, often at competitive prices. Gimbels was also recognized for its festive holiday displays and innovative marketing strategies, such as its popular Thanksgiving Day Parade in Philadelphia. The store became a retail landmark, particularly in New York City and Philadelphia, symbolizing the shopping experience of the early to mid-20th century. It eventually closed in the late 1980s, but remains a notable part of American retail history.
