There was a Gambles Store in Minot…. Not sure at
this time where….. The first Gambles Store opened in St Cloud, Minnesota in
1925. Gamble Skogmo incorporated in 1928… The Minot Gambles Store opened in
1927. At the time of Minot 75th
Anniversary in 1961 there were 2,367 Gambles-Skogmo associated retail outlets.
The early stores catered to the Ford Model “T” owners, selling them parts to
keep their automobiles running. Eventually they expanded into hardware, paint,
tool and other items associated with a full-line hardware store. The Gambles
store was the predecessor to Minot’s Tempo Store in Arrowhead shopping Center
Not a Gambles Store but a Hardware Store from the past
