Wear a reminder of Minneapolis retail history with this Dayton's Hoodie / Sweatshirt. Dayton's began at Nicollet Avenue and Seventh Street in 1902 and grew into a beloved regional name.

For longtime Twin Cities shoppers, Minnesota history fans, and department-store collectors, this piece honors a name that remains part of the region's shared memories.
Dayton's began in Minneapolis in 1902, when George Draper Dayton established a department store in a building at Nicollet Avenue and Seventh Street. Its roots reached back to Goodfellow & Company, founded in 1878. The business became Dayton's Wet Goods Company in 1903 and The Dayton Company in 1911. It expanded from downtown Minneapolis into Minnesota and the Upper Midwest, acquiring Rochester's Knowlton Company in 1952 and developing shopping centers including Southdale Center in Edina, which opened in 1956 as the first fully enclosed, climate-controlled mall in the United States. Dayton's launched the Target discount-store chain in 1962. In 1969, it merged with Detroit-based Hudson's to form Dayton-Hudson Corporation, which acquired Chicago-based Marshall Field's in 1990. The corporation took the Target Corporation name in 2000, and Dayton's stores were rebranded as Marshall Field's in 2001. May Department Stores bought the Marshall Field's group in 2004 and merged with Federated Department Stores in 2005; the stores later became Macy's. The downtown Minneapolis flagship closed in 2017, after more than a century of retail at the site.
