Give your desk a small reminder of Omaha retail history with this Brandeis Department Store foldable mobile phone display stand. The company began as The Fair in 1881 and later opened a landmark downtown flagship, then expanded through shopping centers and malls. Brandeis’s story reflects how shopping changed across Nebraska and the wider region. It makes a thoughtful everyday keepsake for former customers, department-store collectors, and anyone interested in local business history.
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.
