| Gimbels entered the Pittsburgh market in 1925 by purchasing the established Kaufman & Baer store, founded in 1914 by member of the Kaufmann family. |
 |
| The store name was changed to Gimbel Brothers by 1928 |
 |
| Gimbels, at 6th Avenue and Smithfield Street, was readily accepted by Pittburghers and became one of the Steel City's iconic department stores. |

| "Nobody, but nobody, undersells Gimbels!" |
