The Gibbs Family has been important to the economy of Bloomfield since 1960 when Don and Willene Gibbs opened Don’s Buyrite on the corner of Missouri and Viola; they later had a restaurant in the building that is now Wyatt’s One Stop.
This year the Bloomfield Chamber has selected The Gibbs Corp as the business of the year. The trucking business is owned by Scott and Todd Gibbs, sons of Don and Willene. The business was established in 1985 and today employees twenty people.
A third generation of Gibbs boys, Don, Alex, Matt and Sam are learning the business from their fathers, so the Gibbs family may be important to Bloomfield’s economy for many years to come.
