Bring a little Louisville department store history into a favorite room with this Bacon's tin candle. It honors the retailer that began as Jeremiah Bacon's Dry Goods on Market Street in 1845 and became a familiar name from the Fourth and Market flagship to St. Matthews, Shively, Bashford Manor, Owensboro, and the Louisville Galleria. A thoughtful keepsake for collectors who remember downtown browsing, Midnight Madness, and the enduring Bacon's name.
Bacon's was a Louisville, Kentucky-based department store chain with roots in Jeremiah Bacon's Bacon's Dry Goods, opened in 1845 on Market Street near Hancock Street. The business moved into a building four times larger in 1876, then opened its 115,000-square-foot flagship at Fourth and Market in 1901. The flagship, known for entrances on both streets and a spiraling atrium, operated until September 6, 1972, when it closed to make way for the Kentucky International Convention Center. Bacon's sons sold the store in 1903 to New York City-based H.B. Claflin & Company, owner of Stewart Dry Goods. After Claflin's 1914 bankruptcy, Ohio-based Mercantile Stores acquired Bacon's. Expansion included St. Matthews in 1953, Shively in 1956, Bashford Manor Mall in 1972, Owensboro in 1977, Louisville Galleria in 1982, and Mall St. Matthews in 1988. Mercantile Stores was acquired by Dillard's in 1998, retiring the Bacon's name.
