Gordmans officially opened in Erie's Liberty Plaza Tuesday morning.

City of Erie Mayor Joe Schember joined store staff to cut the ribbon.

The new apparel and home decor store is described as an off-price retailer that offers name brand apparel at prices lower than department stores.

This was one of 23 grand openings for Gordmans stores. Each included a check presentation for a local high school.

The Gordmans in the Liberty Plaza donated $1,000 to Erie High School.
