It's now been over 40 years since we said goodbye to the store
A rare image unseen for years offers a glimpse inside a Liverpool department store lost to the 1970s that was "always busy."
Here, we now take another look back at Gimbles, which was "based on the junior department store concept pioneered in America." On February 4, 1976, the ECHO reported how the name itself was "inspired by Gimbels chain" of stores in the US, but it is understood that our Gimbles was owned and run by a Liverpool family and something separate entirely.
"Or if people came in and they wanted finance, they would come to get the forms or help them fill in the forms to send off. People would open accounts with us to save for Christmas. Working at Gimbles for around two years, Pamela said what she loved the most about the department store was the people she worked with. She said: "There was a young man who worked there called Steven and his nickname was Stevie B because another Steve worked with us.
A year on into the business, in 1976 Gimbles was among one of the first businesses in the city to open their doors for the first time on New Year’s Day since it became a public holiday. In February that year, the Liverpool Daily Post reported how Gimbles had hopes to expand.
