Give a desk essential a connection to Florida retail history. Burdines began with a Miami store in 1898 and grew into a department store chain serving Florida, earning the identity “The Florida Store.” This business card holder nods to the name remembered by generations of shoppers, from the early Miami years to the chain’s later statewide reach and its transition to Macy’s. It makes a thoughtful present for collectors of regional brands, former customers, and anyone who enjoys stories of American department stores.
Burdines began in Florida in 1898, when William M. Burdine opened a Miami store with his son, John, after an earlier dry-goods venture in Bartow. First known as W.M. Burdine & Son, it grew from a small clothing shop into a department store chain serving Florida exclusively. Its Miami flagship and headquarters anchored a business that became known as “The Florida Store,” with palm trees and subtropical colors in its stores. Expansion included a Miami Beach branch during the 1920s and further Florida locations over subsequent decades. The chain began international mail order service to Latin America in the late 1940s. Federated Department Stores acquired Burdines in 1956, supporting later expansion north and west across Florida. In 1991, Burdines absorbed many Florida stores from the Maas Brothers/Jordan Marsh division following Federated’s merger with Allied Stores and bankruptcy reorganization. The brand became Burdines–Macy’s in 2004 and was fully converted to Macy’s in 2005. The former Miami flagship continued as a Macy’s until March 2018; the building later reopened for retail use in 2020.
