Gibson's Discount Center lives in a time warp where dime stores still existed. Because it really is just that - an oversized 5&10 cent shop.
Unlike the dime store, Gibson's carries a big selection of guns and ammo, as well as the usual textiles and housewares your grandmother had. They also carry a fabulous array of REAL western wear - stuff those barrel rider girls like to wear. The fabrics are sooooo cute - a great selection of retro materials that you could spend alot of money on even if you don't sew because they are so darn adorable.
You could spend hours in Gibsons going up and down the aisles finding one useful thing after another that YOU MUST HAVE NOW. All the products are displayed on open shelving and marked with red price tag stickers (a big problem is you're used to sleuthing for Target clearance items; red does not mean clearance in Gibson's.
Here is why Gibson's is so much fun:
Need one styrofoam ball - go to Gibson's. Or maybe all you need is an hour glass and where in the world would you find one of those - Gibson's, of course. If you only had one of the old fashioned pointed needle dealies you could slap your receipts on to be organized - Gibson's!
I've literally seen a woman screaming in delight and yelling for her husband to "COME LOOK" as she wAndered down the aisles one day. The Saturday before Easter, there wasn't a bag of primary colored plastic eggs to be found in Weatherford. But, who had them - Gibson's, of course.
Some drawbacks - it is old, dark and dreary. Employees are dragging around. Tiny check-out lanes that you are required to walk through even if you don't buy anything, i.e., everyone is a potential shoplifter. The plants and garden products out in front are NEVER priced - you have to round up someone to tell you how much something costs.
But, really, don't let any of the negatives keep you from visiting what surely passes for the Ike Godsey of all discount chains.

We have used Lightfoot for several years and I always get the impression that the staff is being honest and helpful with me. We are on their Easy Service Agreement, which brings them to the house twice a year for scheduled tune ups. This has really kept the efficiency of our unit up and kept the house cool in the hot Texas weather. Parking is not an issue since they come to your house and being on the agreement is a good deal for maintenance on such an expensive household item.

On the afternoon of Mother's Day a few years ago, our septic system started backing up. We had just moved to the country and my husband had no idea what to do. We had seen Mr. Gardner's truck around and knew he lived nearby. Not only did he answer his phone that Sunday, he was here in 5 minutes to pump out the tank.
He's a great guy who knows his business. You can rely on his judgment and expertise.
