When the popularity of hats began to fade, the store
broadened its merchandise to include menswear. Joseph's
sons, Albert and Robert (Bob), took an active role in this
expansion. In the early 1970s, under Bob's leadership,
Giblees opened a location in Danvers' Liberty Tree Mall,
where the store remained for over 25 years.
With vacancies on the rise, the Gibeleys decided to leave
the mall for fast-developing Route 114. After trying out
different locations, they purchased their current building
with enough space for the main store as well as a full-
service tux department. Although Bob, 80, officially retired
in 2011, he still makes daily appearances while his son, Alan,
officially manages the store.
Customers are drawn to Giblees for its quality apparel,
which ranges from casual sportswear to imported Italian
labels to custom-tailored suits. But its espresso bar, pool
table, and multiple flat-screen TVs sweeten the deal.
"We value our clients," says Alan of the company's
unbending service-oriented philosophy. "They are hard to
come by, but once we have them, we keep them for life."
