Raise a glass to Rochester retail history with this B. Forman pint glass. The company grew from Benjamin Forman’s tailoring trade, associated with Vienna Tailors on East Main Street by 1903, into a major women’s clothing retailer. Its downtown story continued on South Clinton Avenue and later at Midtown Plaza, where its store opened in 1962. A fitting piece for collectors of department-store history, Rochester memorabilia, and the changing shape of American shopping.
Founded by Benjamin Forman, B. Forman Co. grew from a Rochester, New York, tailoring business into a major women’s clothing retailer. Forman was associated with the Vienna Tailors shop on East Main Street by 1903; the business took the B. Forman name the following year. In 1911 he opened a ready-to-wear store at 50 South Clinton Avenue, and the expanded B. Forman Co. store opened nearby on August 22, 1912. The company enlarged its downtown store in 1925, 1941 and 1951, and added suburban branches in the 1950s. In 1958, B. Forman and McCurdy & Co. announced a joint downtown shopping-center project; Midtown Plaza opened in 1962 with both stores inside. After family ownership ended, McCurdy’s bought B. Forman Co. stock in 1968, while the retailer continued as an autonomous operation. Later expansion included stores acquired from Flah’s and the Flah company. The business contracted in the early 1990s, and its stores closed in 1994. A proposed revival opened in Midtown Plaza in November 1994 but closed about fourteen months later.

A sturdy 16oz pint glass that brings a little roadhouse spirit to everyday pours. The clear tempered glass showcases whatever you fill it with — amber beer, cold brew, or fresh juice — while a bold vintage-inspired script wraps the side for a subtle, nostalgic touch. It feels solid in the hand, resists everyday wear, and pairs easily with bar carts, kitchen counters, or a laid-back backyard table. Wash gently by hand to keep the lettering sharp and the glass crystal-clear. Built from tempered materials and assembled in the USA, this glass fits into evenings spent swapping stories, weekend morning routines, or those slow, quiet moments when a simple drink matters.
