Add a touch of Omaha retail history to your work or study setup with this Brandeis laptop sleeve. The company began in 1881 and became a leading regional department-store name, recognized for its downtown flagship completed in 1906. Its later growth through shopping centers and its connection to Gold and Company reflect a broader story of changing shopping across Nebraska. For collectors, former customers, and local history enthusiasts, Brandeis recalls a distinctive chapter in the region’s commercial life.
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.
