Gimbel’s, the newest restaurant to locate in downtown Tamaqua, is now open for business! Founded by Megan and Aaron Gimbel, who also own Gimbel Farms in Rush Township, the restaurant features high-quality, farm-to-table ingredients sourced solely from local businesses. Congrats and best wishes as you begin this new journey!
Gimbel’s is just the latest employer to open its doors in downtown Tamaqua, thanks in part to the borough’s City Revitalization and Improvement Zone (CRIZ), an innovative program allows state tax payments from the zone to remain in the community for economic development. Now, many of its oldest buildings are much improved from the days when I grew up in a “half a double” on Arlington Street in the 1960s and 70s, thanks to the tireless work of so many throughout the Tamaqua community.
