Add a small piece of Georgia retail remembrance to the refrigerator, filing cabinet, or display board. This Kessler's square porcelain fridge magnet celebrates the family-owned department store chain that opened in Macon in 1914 and made downtown Atlanta its main location in 1933. Its stores served Georgia communities for decades before closing in 1998, leaving a story that still resonates with local-history and former-store collectors.
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.
