GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Show a little Georgia pride on the road with a Kessler's car magnet rooted in local department store history. Kessler's began in Macon in 1914, became closely associated with downtown Atlanta after 1933, and eventually operated stores in communities across the state. The chain closed in 1998, yet its family-business legacy still resonates with collectors and people who remember Georgia's changing retail landscape. A simple mobile tribute for cars, lockers, or magnetic surfaces.
Kessler's was a family-owned lower-end department store chain in Georgia. Its first department store opened in Macon in 1914. In 1932, the Kessler family moved to Atlanta, and Hyman and Walter H. Kessler opened a downtown Atlanta store the following year, in 1933. That store became the chain's main location. Over time, Kessler's operated seven additional Georgia locations in Smyrna, Rome, Newnan, West Point, Decatur, West Atlanta, and Canton. The company remained identified with its family ownership and its network of stores serving Atlanta and other Georgia communities. The Kessler family closed all of the stores in 1998, ending the chain's retail operations. The former downtown Atlanta store was later converted into condominiums. Kessler's history connects an early Macon opening, a move to Atlanta during the 1930s, and a long-running Georgia department store presence that concluded at the end of the twentieth century.
