FAMOUS RETAILERS, PT.1 Where do North Americans spend their money? This week, Tidbits looks into the history of some of our most famous merchants. Part Two will appear next week. • In 1907, Herbert Marcus founded a new business in Dallas, Texas, with his sister Carrie Marcus Neiman and her husband. They had a large amount of money available to invest, and chose to open a top-quality clothing store, turning down an opportunity to purchase a franchise for a new fountain drink called CocaCola. Within a few weeks, the store had completely sold out of its merchandise, as wealthy Texans hurried to purchase the store’s stylish fashions. In 1913, a fire destroyed the store and all of its inventory. Seventeen days later, a temporary store opened, and in 1914, it was rebuilt, and remains the location of their flagship store. • In 1926, Neiman-Marcus became the nation’s first store to feature a weekly fashion show, held in Dallas’ Baker Hotel. Between 1942 and 1944, their sales ballooned from $6 million to $11 million. It wasn’t until 1957 that a store was opened outside the Dallas area, when they expanded to downtown Houston. It took until 1971 to expand outside the state of Texas, when the Bal Harbour, Florida store was opened. Today there are 41 Neiman-Marcus stores in 19 states. WANT TO RUN YOUR OWN BUSINESS?
