Hugh Gilbert Culbreth, Sr. arrived in Okeechobee in 1924, and his first job was hauling rock for the construction of State Road 8 (Conner's Highway). In July of 1925, he entered a partnership with Walter Watford in a service station. Then he operated an All-Night filling station on West Park Street. In 1931, Culbreth purchased the Park Theatre and put up a new theatre building in 1934. In August 1933, he became Chevrolet dealer for the Okeechobee area and established Gilbert Chevrolet Company. Two years later his tire and appliance business was established on Parrott Avenue. He was well known for his community Christmas party that he hosted at the movie theater. All the children of the community were invited and received a gift, a free movie, and a visit from Santa Claus. He also had theme events at the theater such as “Barefoot Night” where you got in free, if you were barefoot.

Gilbert’s is celebrating its 100th year in business and it is still a family owned and operated business.
