Carry a piece of Charlotte retail history wherever the next trip leads. This Ivey's luggage tag honors the department store that began on North Tryon Street in 1900 and grew from a local shop into a familiar Southern name. It is a thoughtful travel accessory for collectors, former shoppers, Charlotte natives, and anyone who remembers the changing storefronts and department-store traditions of the region.
Ivey's, formally J. B. Ivey & Company, was a Charlotte, North Carolina-based department store chain founded by Joseph Benjamin Ivey. J. B. Ivey opened his first store on North Tryon Street on February 19, 1900. Poor sales at that site led to a move later that year to the first block of West Trade Street. The growing business relocated to 13 North Tryon Street in fall 1914. George M. Ivey, the founder's only son, joined the company in 1920 and helped convert it from a partnership to a corporation, a process completed in 1922. A new Charlotte store opened in 1924 and remained the chain's only location until expansion began with Greenville, South Carolina, in 1935 and Asheville, North Carolina, in 1937. Ivey's became publicly traded in the 1940s. Marshall Field's purchased the company in 1980, and BATUS Retail Group acquired Marshall Field's in 1982. BATUS sold Ivey's to Dillard's, Inc. in 1990, ending the Ivey's name as an independent department store chain.
