GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Celebrate Jacobson's, the department store name that began with Abram Jacobson's 1838 shop in Reed City, Michigan. The company grew across Michigan and later reached Florida and other regional markets, building a story tied to apparel, fine jewelry and home furnishings. Its original chain closed in 2002, while a single Florida revival carried the name until 2011. This shirt suits former shoppers, retail history fans and collectors who appreciate the places and businesses that shaped local shopping memories.
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.
