Gibbs in New Jersey had several locations. Montclair opened in 1950 at 33 Plymouth Avenue. Its success spelled the end of the Chicago school. New York corporate supervision of the strict curriculum was a much easier task in Montclair than in Chicago.

While Montclair was open, a second Gibbs campus began in Piscataway, New Jersey in 1984. The first Piscataway campus was at 180 Centennial Avenue and later moved to 80 Kingsbridge Road. This campus closed in 2008.
