Take Federal's history along for a round with a Federal's Golf Towel. The Detroit-based department store was founded in 1929, merged with Columbus's Kobacker's in 1961, and bought Shifrin-Willens Jewelers in 1969. Its story took a difficult turn in 1972, when the company filed for bankruptcy and stores in Lansing and Kalamazoo closed. Federal's changed hands in 1978 and was liquidated in 1980. A conversation-starting choice for golf outings, regional retail enthusiasts, and department-store history collectors.
Federal Department Store, commonly known as Federal's, was a department store chain based in Detroit and founded in 1929. Its history includes expansion through a merger and a separate jewelry acquisition. In 1961, Federal's merged with Kobacker's, a department store company based in Columbus, Ohio. In 1969, Federal's bought Shifrin-Willens Jewelers. The chain filed for bankruptcy in 1972; that same year, its stores in Lansing and Kalamazoo closed. One of Federal's holdings at the time of the bankruptcy was the Hoffritz for Cutlery chain, which was sold in 1975 through a leveraged buyout. In 1978, Steven Watstein, also known as Steven West, purchased Federal's. The chain was liquidated in 1980. These milestones trace Federal's from its 1929 founding through a merger, an acquisition, financial difficulty, a change in ownership, and eventual liquidation. The documented locations connect its story to Detroit, Columbus, Lansing, and Kalamazoo.
