Capture ideas beside a piece of Omaha history with this Brandeis Department Store spiral notebook. The company began in 1881, when Jonas L. Brandeis opened The Fair, and went on to build a landmark downtown flagship that opened in 1906. Its growth through shopping centers and its acquisition of Lincoln’s Gold and Company reflect a changing era in Nebraska retail. This notebook suits collectors, former shoppers, and anyone who enjoys remembering the regional businesses that helped shape local communities and their shopping traditions.
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.
