    Gibson’s was THE store when I was a kid in southwest Oklahoma in the 1960’s. Had a great theme song too.

    The Gibson's company folded in 2003, but since they were all franchised by then, some just decided to carry on. Today, two remain - the one you visited and the other one up in Weatherford (I-20 straight west of Fort Worth). They know their market. I grew up in San Antonio in the '70s and '80s, so I am very familiar with Gibson's.

    We had one my hometown! I wish I could find the "Let's go to Gibsons" commercial jingle.

    Copperas cove, Killeen, Tx. 1967-69. Dad was stationed at Ft. Hood and went to Vietnam from there. I was around 5 and I remember Gibson's but I said Gisbens. Thank you for a video that brings back memories. Ain't too many of us old timers around anymore.

    I love this Gibson's. They have everything. I grew up going back in the 60s and 70s and then Wal-Mart showed up. I think there's one other Gibson's somewhere in Texas. Thanks for sharing.

    Man I loved Gibsons growing up in Fort Morgan, CO they were great until Walmart showed up and there went that. Loved the annual giant parking lot sale, just overall great memories, liked Kmart and Alco too all are dead now. Hard to believe that Walmart killed all three retailers in that town.

    Gibson's were in Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana among other states. As kids, used to get toys and 45 records there. And fresh popcorn and Icees.
