GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Jacobson's story began in 1838 with a shop in Reed City, Michigan, and grew into a regional department store chain remembered by generations of shoppers. Its stores later reached beyond Michigan, including Florida, while its original operation came to an end in 2002. This infant bodysuit offers a sweet way for families to share a piece of local business history with a new generation. It suits Jacobson's collectors, former shoppers and anyone who enjoys passing along stories of familiar hometown institutions.
Jacobson's was an American regional upscale department store chain founded in 1838, when Abram Jacobson opened its first shop in Reed City, Michigan. The business expanded to Ann Arbor, Battle Creek and Jackson, moving its headquarters to Jackson in 1937. In 1939, brothers Zola and Nathan Rosenfeld bought the company and led a period of statewide growth. Nathan hired J. Russell Fowler, formerly a manager for the Jordan Marsh chain, in 1945; under Fowler, sales increased and the chain expanded into Florida. Jacobson's later operated in Michigan, Florida, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky and Kansas, selling apparel, fine jewelry and home furnishings. In the 1990s it opened in Louisville and added stores in Leawood and Boca Raton, while facing retail decline and losses. The company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2002, liquidated its remaining stores and closed. Von Maur acquired the Briarwood Mall and Laurel Park Place stores. In 2004, Jake's Stores acquired the Jacobson's name and reopened a single Florida store near Winter Park; that successor operation closed in 2011. The original chain's history spanned 164 years.
