Carry a piece of Western New York retail history on your travels with this Jenss Luggage Tag. Founded by the Jenss brothers in Lockport in 1887, the department store company grew to serve communities across the region. Its locations included Boulevard Mall, Eastern Hills Mall, Summit Park Mall, Niagara Falls, and downtown Tonawanda. For former shoppers and local history enthusiasts, this travel accessory recalls a familiar name and the stores that became part of everyday life.
Jenss was a small department store chain serving Western New York. The Jenss brothers founded the company in 1887 in Lockport, New York, establishing a local retail business that later expanded to several regional shopping destinations. Harold Dautch bought the company in 1951. In 1962, Jenss opened its flagship department store at Boulevard Mall in Amherst, New York. Its other locations included Summit Park Mall, Eastern Hills Mall, and Main Street in Niagara Falls. The company also operated Jenss Twin Ton at Main and Niagara streets in downtown Tonawanda, in the former Zuckmaier Brothers department store. In 1997, Jenss decided to close its Summit Park Mall location. On September 15, 2000, the company closed all of its department stores. In 2002, Jenss chose to open stores exclusively with Reeds Jewelers while remaining a separate company. The arrangement was not a merger: Jenss and Reeds Jewelers retained separate and distinct operations. This history traces the brand from its 1887 Lockport founding through regional expansion, department store closures, and a later retail relationship.
