Carry a reminder of Nebraska retail history with this Brandeis backpack. Founded in Omaha in 1881, the department-store business grew from a single shop into a regional chain and a familiar part of local life. Its eight-story downtown flagship opened in 1906, followed by expansion into shopping centers including Crossroads and Southroads. Brandeis memorabilia connects collectors with changing downtown shopping, neighborhood destinations, and generations of shoppers. This backpack brings that regional story along for school, travel, or everyday errands.
J.L. Brandeis & Sons, commonly known as Brandeis, was a department-store chain based in the Omaha, Nebraska, area. Jonas L. Brandeis began the business in 1881 with The Fair, a store at 506 South 13th Street. In 1888, he opened the Boston Store at 16th and Douglas. Work on a larger downtown flagship began in 1905, and the eight-story building opened in 1906. Designed by John Latenser Sr., it became a prominent retail landmark. Brandeis expanded beyond downtown through shopping centers, developing Crossroads Shopping Center in Omaha in 1959 and opening Southroads Mall in 1966. In 1964, the company acquired Gold and Company, a Lincoln department store that continued under its own name as a Brandeis division until it closed in 1981. Brandeis reached about fifteen stores and peaked in the early 1970s, with 3,000 employees and $100 million in sales. The downtown Omaha flagship closed in 1980. In 1987, Des Moines-based Younkers purchased the chain for $33.9 million, kept eleven stores, and converted them to the Younkers name.
