Celebrate a remembered piece of Georgia commerce with a Kessler's ceramic ornament. The design honors a family-owned department store chain that began in Macon in 1914 and became a downtown Atlanta fixture after the Kessler family relocated in the 1930s. With stores serving multiple Georgia communities until 1998, Kessler's remains a meaningful name for collectors of local history. Hang it as a seasonal keepsake or display it year-round as a tribute to family business and changing city spaces.
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.
