Retail Thrives Throughout Scottsdale History By Joan Fudala, community historian
While some wring their hands over the future of ‘brick and mortar’ retail stores and shopping malls, shopping continues to be a pleasant pastime in Scottsdale, as it has been throughout our history. J.L. Davis launched Scottsdale’s retail industry in 1897 when he opened the new settlement’s first general store. Located on the southwest corner of what is now Main Street and Brown Avenue, Davis’ wood-frame building also housed Scottsdale’s first post office. He and his family lived in rooms behind the retail area. Davis sold the store to his assistant, Sara Thomas, circa 1902, making the store the first woman-owned business here. She brought her brother-in-law in as a business partner in 1904; E.O. Brown became one of early Scottsdale’s most prolific entrepreneurs, owning/operating retail, cotton farm, cattle ranch, bank, water company, cotton gin and more. Most of Scottsdale’s retail shops in the early 1900s served the food and farming needs of the town. Comedian Jack Benny’s cousin Marshall Kubelsky and his wife Lillian opened The Boston Store on Main Street, Jew Chew Song and his family opened Chew’s grocery on Brown Avenue (still operated by the Chew family as Mexican Imports), Byer’s grocery opened on the northwest corner of Scottsdale and Main (Earl Shipp bought out his boss Mr. Byers in the 1930s and
Goldwater’s was the long-time anchor at Scottsdale Fashion Square. (Scottsdale Historical Society photo)
renamed it Earl’s grocery). Tamm’s, Mahoney’s and McComb Brothers also operated as mercantile or general stores in the 1920s and 1930s. The first resort gift shop opened at Graves Guest Ranch/Health Camp on the northwest corner of Scottsdale and Indian School Roads circa 1910. Ed Graves sold Native American pottery, baskets and other craft items popular with visitors. Sterling Drug, Scottsdale’s first pharmacy, opened in the 1920s on the northwest corner of Brown and Main (current location of Saba’s). As cars replaced horses for transportation in Scottsdale, shops (Brown’s General Store, Mahoney’s, McCombs) had gas pumps out front; Mort Kimsey opened the Scottsdale Service Company circa 1918 on the northeast corner of Scottsdale and Main. After World War II, Scottsdale’s retail quickly changed from necessities to niceties. Tom Darlington converted the former Brown’s General Store into the Arizona Craftsmen Center, where artists like Lloyd Kiva and Mathilde Schaefer Davis
J.L. Davis opened Scottsdale’s first store in 1897. (Scottsdale Historical Society photo)
created leather purses and pottery for residents and tourists alike. By the mid-1950s, downtown Scottsdale was known as the fashion, arts and crafts center of the entire Southwest. Retailers along Fifth Avenue lured customers by staging weekly street fashion shows throughout the winter. In the late 1940s, Lottie Sidell’s former tourist cottages on Main Street were converted into the Village Patio Shops, Scottsdale’s first ‘shopping mall.’ Goldwater’s brought luxury retail to the corner of Scottsdale and 1st Avenue in 1950, and in 1961 became the main anchor to the new Scottsdale Fashion Square. Pima Plaza was among the first shopping areas to cater to car travel, with easy-access parking spaces. Further north, one of the most memorable 1950s/60s shopping experiences was a Sunday drive to the northeast corner of Scottsdale and Pinnacle Peak Roads, where Don Pablo sold antiques and Western curios of all kinds, from

branding irons to cow skulls. Pinnacle Peak Patio and Reata Pass, northern Scottsdale’s former cowboy restaurants, both started circa 1957/58 as convenience stores for travelers to Bartlett Lake. To serve the basic needs of early residents of new master planned communities, the Pinnacle Peak General Store opened in 1975. Although Scottsdale incorporated as a town in 1951, the Town Council didn’t enact a sales tax until 1960. At the same council meeting, the first business license tax was also enacted, both affecting retailers. Add to Scottsdale’s retail history; shop ‘til you drop! Don Pablo’s Curio Stand at Pinnacle Peak and Scottsdale Roads was a popular 1950s Sunday drive destination (Scottsdale Historical Society photo)
Fifth Avenue merchants staged fashion shows to highlight their merchandise (Scottsdale Historical Society photo)

Family Promise - Greater Phoenix
Helping Families with Children to break the cycle of Homelessness... In Operation since 2000, Family Promise-Greater Phoenix has provided more than just shelter for families. For the past 16 years, the programs at Family Promise have helped over 800 families. These programs have enabled families to move from homelessness to self-sufficiency. The Vision of Family Promise is a community of whole and healthy families. At Family Promise, we give families the tools and training to care for their children, find employment and housing, and become independent and successful. We strive to provide a safety net for children and their families before they drop into a cycle of endless shelters, loss of school attendance, unemployment, family instability and foster care. Family Promise is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, independently affiliated with a national organization founded in 1986 and comprised of 200 affiliates in 46 states (www.familypromise.org). Family Promise operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and only serves families with children. More than 60% of our clients are children.
