Bring a small piece of Brooklyn retail history along on every drive with an Abraham & Straus car coaster. A&S traced its beginning to Wechsler & Abraham, founded at 285 Fulton Street in 1865, before becoming Abraham & Straus in 1893. The name later spread through the New York metropolitan area and became a cherished memory after its 1995 retirement. Designed for people who remember the stores, collect old retail names, or simply love a distinctive New York connection on the road.
Abraham & Straus, commonly known as A&S, was a major New York City department store based in Brooklyn. It began in 1865 at 285 Fulton Street as Wechsler & Abraham, founded by Joseph Wechsler and Abraham Abraham. In 1893, Nathan Straus, Isidor Straus, and Simon F. Rothschild bought Wechsler's interest, and the business was renamed Abraham & Straus. The company acquired the Wheeler Building at 422 Fulton Street in 1883 for its flagship, later expanding the store in a major 1928 to 1930 project. A&S joined Filene's and Lazarus in forming Federated Department Stores in 1929. It expanded across the New York metropolitan area after World War II, including branches in Hempstead, Paramus, White Plains, and Long Island. Federated merged with Allied Stores in 1992, consolidating A&S with Jordan Marsh. After Federated acquired R.H. Macy & Company in 1994, A&S was combined with Macy's. The Abraham & Straus name was retired in 1995; most locations became Macy's, while others became Stern's, Bloomingdale's, or Sears.
