GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Keep business cards close with a reminder of Dayton's place in Minneapolis history. Founded downtown by George Draper Dayton in 1902, the company grew from a local department store into an influential Upper Midwest retailer. Its milestones included the development of Southdale Center and the launch of Target, followed by mergers and a succession of store names. This Metal Business Card Holder makes a fitting desk accessory for collectors, former Dayton's shoppers, and people interested in the changing story of American retail.
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.
